Going to the track 2wd or 4wd?

What is the best way to get good numbers at the track? I can either feather the pedal in 2wd until I get going and let it rip or do a boosted launch in 4wd.
What do you guys think is best? Thanks, Tom J.

it will definatly be faster to build a little boost and hit it in 4wd. with your goerend parts you should be able to handle some 15psi launches.

I use 4hi 4wd and 15-20psi launches. Just leave it in 4hi until you are slowing down, then shift to 2hi before you turn off. It wont release anyway until you slow down.

Try it both ways and I think you will wind up in 4hi. Without drag radials and traction bars I had no way to hook up quick enough to run a good time in 2wd.

4WD and 15 PSI. in 2wd you are just going to lose too much time off the line to make it up
