Yea it's bone stock. I'm taking the volant off the rst and putting it on the SS. I'll be taking the clutch fan off and doing the e-fans. Then go to the exhaust. I'm going to do this the right way 1st. I'm going to do my research then decide on what exactly I want to do. I was young and dumb with the rst at 1st. I have learned from my mistakes...lol

Considering the only major difference between my truck and an AWD SS is that the AWD on an SS isn't selectable, I'd say I do know a bit about this subject.
Lets go through this step by step. How the hell does the AWD system/torsion bar suspension add OVER 1000 lbs? That makes absolutely NO sense dude. Ok, maybe the body cladding adds a little more, but 1100 lbs total? Bullshit.
Yes, 4wd/AWD will cut down a bit on your top end, but it helps you more than "a little bit" on launch. Find a 2wd truck that can dead hook and cut a 1.8 60' on worn out all terrain tires, and then come back. Oh, and that was at a track where you can't go around the water box.
This all actually first hand experience, with my OWN truck, not "a buddy's truck". You have given more bad advice on here than anybody else I've seen.
