Track times are coming September 9th for both these trucks. He will be on 16s and I will be on my 26x11.5x16 et streets

When my scan gauge shows up from Dub's group buy, I am gonna tweak my Wait4Me tune according to the data it shows and if I am still unhappy, Allen Nelson is getting a phone call.
No offense here, but you'll see in my post I said "a properly set up 2wd" not a 2wd with stock suspension and serious traction problems from the get go

Like i said get awd if you have snow etc. get 2wd if you dont. and honestly the awd gets old after a while i just missed having 2wd and i missed smoke em up sideways up the street )
Maybe its the difference in Tunes. I have a Nelson, he has Wait4Me But I would agree, the 2WD should win. I was just telling it like is was when me and OUT2WIN raced. I hope OUT2WIN doesn't smoke me too bad on Sept 9th, my credit card hasn't cooled off yet.

One thing you guys are missing...the AWD Silvy SS's have 4.10 gearing and the 2WD's have 3.73 gearing. Advantage goes to AWD for torque to the pavement.

I am sure there is an AWD SS with the Same mods as me, what are the running?? I am sure there will be a point (who knows where? 11's, 10's?) that AWD will prove superior on the street, but at the track, on DR's the 2WD will NEVER lose against a similarly modded SS..
