Rafa, how is your transfer case supposed to be holding up on 4wd launches? Is it factory? I've already went through one transfer case and I wasn't impressed. You're running 4.56's so I'm sure there is far less strain placed on the tcase, but 600+rwhp is pushing it imo. I could be wrong only time will tell.

I would think your new tranny would handle the 4wd launches fine. I'm going the exact same route that you did with the tranny. Mine should be here next week with the PI converter. What are you going to do with your converter that came off the MonsterBox? Any market out there for this converter? Of course, I can understand your reasoning on the weight reduction, that makes sense.

i goofed.
edit:
with 650 rwhp and a track weight of 6900lbs = 12.80 @ 106
with 650rwhp and a track weight of 6000lbs = 12.22 @ 111
with a track weight of 5599lbs and 650 = 11.94 @ 114
if you get the weight to 5000 lbs. and the hp reaches 700 rwhp in race gas tune = 11.22 @ 121
with 700 rwhp and race gas with 6900 lbs = 12.49 @ 109

Takes a lot of HP to make up for the weight. I wouldn't be too disappointed. Should be one of the fastest 4-door trucks on the streets.

A mid 12 or high 11 would be a very respectful time for that truck,,with a different wheel and tire combo.
I'm running 500 RWHP and a 100 shot of nitrous with a 6000 pound truck and I'm running 12.1s and about to hit high 11s.
He should have no problem hitting mid 11s!!!!!
Nice job rafa,,,truck came out great!!!!!!

I am still taking it easy to finish the engine break in (1500 miles), right now it has 650 miles.
One thing that i can say is that the Monster Box tranny it's not too different from the stock tranny with the Factory Tech Valve Body Plate kit, shifts very firm !
