Most guys seem to be getting better times at the track in 4X4 because of the better traction. If you are feeling more snap and more tire burn, than the chip is,in fact, adding to your truck's performance. You will see it more on the highway than you will on the track. The only way to get better times in 2wd is to work on your traction - slicks maybe.
Very possible. I just tried a couple passes for the first time and the truck literally fries the rear tires off the line. No amount of tire cleaning or throttle feathering could fix this. It wasn't until I used 4HI that I could launch with full throttle.
