I completely dig the 4wd hooks better than 2 thing, but top fuel dragsters aren't 4wd. I've driven several supercharged and turbocharged cars that are 4wd and both were HELL to keep straight under power from torque steer so I sure as hell wouldn't drive one on a drag strip and have boost hit @ 100+ mph as the car hits third. F that! Besides 4wd is a lot more rotating mass, more weight, more crap to break, more of everything BAD in a drag car. You don't need 4wd in a drag car. Bad idea. .....My 2 pesos.

in the thread posted from supraforums the tranny goes from 50/50 from off the line to 100/0 anything after launch. I don't think you would get any torque steer at 100 mph because it would be a rwd car at that point. Looks pretty f-ing sweet to me.

yeah you'd just drag the dead weight of the entire forward driveline and transfer case from the starting line to the finish line destroying any advantage you had off the launch..... still not feeling that idea.
