When my s3 was put on the rolling roads they took out two fuses to make it fwd. The guy said in a straight line race the car would pull even more with the fuses out???
Wouldnt that just cause the front wheels to spin on take off.??

Heard it on another post and heard it was aload of crap and shouldnt be done. ull get faulse readings as ur cars technically normally in 4wd mode wen ur bootin it, so wen u unhook the rear diff theres less power getting lost, and all of it through the front wheels making higher bhp readings than it should... some 1 please correct me if im wrong????

Not exactly true but the thing with the fuses is not good practice as it can still jump into 4wd at anytime so a risky practice
