I have a AWD TBSS. Here is the break down on my best run bone stock.
rt - .393
60ft - 2.076
1/8 - 8.925 79.986mph
ET - 13.893 98.884mph
Perfect for luanching. No wheel hop or spin what so ever and I can only imagine what it would feel like with a nice stall...

I test drove a 2wd tbss yesterday and it didn't feel like 323 rwhp or a 9.0 1/8th truck. Maybe because it was so high, or because it was so heavy. Also, I'm not a "big truck guy". Or an AT guy. The truck felt like it would tow with no issues, but it wouldn't be that fun to race at the strip. I'm probably wrong.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, but don't the AWD cars get a free pass on smog? I have never seen a 4 wheel dyno at a smog shop.
This would make gettting the AWD TBSS worthwhile if it was true.

Nope, all the LS series bocks are aluminum. People use the LQ9 block quite often to build big nitrous motors or big blower cars because its iron, but all the production car/truck/suv LS blocks are in fact aluminum, every last one.

There are many places with 4 wheel smog dynos. Those that don't have them however will either turn you in the right direction for a AWD smog shop or do a 2 speed idle test, where instead of running a rolling test is just in neutral and they rev it up a bit. So if you have your TBSS tuned so that it has a rev limiter in neutral thats like 1k or something then maybe you could get away with more, not sure on that one though.
