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.

Yes the racecar was N/A as the rules would not allow for turbos and they're a little harder to hide than the afformentioned parts. I think the conversion to RWD is still too new to be able to guess how long stock parts would hold up. Not enough people have done the conversion to really say what kind of power they are capable of before breakage occurs. It seems to me that the Mighty Max pickup truck drivetrain may be better suited for that type of transformation because it's made to be rear drive. Swap out the bell housings and fabricate mounts for the truck transmission and rear end (I'm guessing here) and you'd have a stronger, better suited drivetrain for your desired format.
