Hey i was wondering if it's possible (anything is) or worth it to attempt to switch a fwd to an awd. i know you'd have to mess with a lot of stuff but i was just curious.

I think what MidwestDSM was getting at was not so much as how modified it was as much as how much power it's putting down. I 'think' your race car was converted to N/A as well?
Taking all the stress that used to be distributed to 4 wheels and putting it to just two will add some stress to the drivetrain there. I'm not sure how engineered our AWD cars are outback as far as driveshft and other intermediate areas for all out RWD. Also, the traction on dirt is a bit more limited so the added slippage can keep a lot of driveline parts from braking. Still, kudos on the functioning conversion!
