Default Turn off front wheel drive for SRT8 Jeep

Anyone know how to do this? I see YouTube videos of guys doing great rear wheel burnouts, so someone has figured this out. I don't like the torqu-steer between shifts. The Kooks headers really opened up the 6.1, but 6hrs to install my arse....

Default That works for a FWD

The fronts will spin. I want the fronts to have no drive.

Actually, I am a SR. VP of a large SW company. What do you do?
If you hit the emergency brake, you are lockig up the rears. Anyone can do that and load up the TC past the stall speed.
They will spin, but so will your rotors. I own numerous high-end cars. Using emergency brakes to hold a burn-out of for the idiots that race arund cones in parking lots and think they are Mario Andretti (I sense you may do this on sunday mornings).
Line-locks are the only way to do this the most efficient way. but as we have FW, THAT is unstable.

For the more intellingent guys out there, I did find out how to disable the FWD and limited slip (cut a few wires). Then, you could smoke these tires for blocks.
However, as I stated before, I want to eliminate torque-steer between 1st & 2nd. I hit the drag strip a lot amd see plenty of marks on the right guard-rail from too much torque steer. The first thing to do is keep the front wheels from pulling to the right (I would hope you understand why they do this - same as for an airplane I fly), and keeping the vehicle going straight down the track.

As I have added the new CPY, CAI and Kooks Headers, the problem has become quite severs. In the rain, it will be an E-Ticket ride. Adding a turbo or blower setup next. The need for speed.

That's exactly what pulling the E-Brake up one notch on an STi does. 1 notch isn't enough to engage it but trips the center diff that powers the front wheels to not lock.
