A manual-shift transfer case MAY have a chance, but good luck wrenching on the lever hard enough to get it pulled out of 4wd with power applied.
Thats what I was thinking. Seems like 4x4 would be good for launch, but even if you disengage the ESOF, then your rear-end is still pushing the front end....which now has resistance because of the hubs being locked in and hurting your top end speed. Seems like it would make more sense if you had an aftermarket transfer case to handle higher speeds and keep the 4x4 engaged down the track.
