From what the 2g fwd guys tell me, the VCE is only to be used when dyno'ing an AWD car on a 2wd dyno, for the fwd guys who use an AWD tranny in FWD mode full time, they all recommend welding the center diff in the trans so its always locked. Doing it this way as is much stronger then relying on the VCE for full time abuse.

is there a way to elimitate the front wheel drive and use rear only?

yeah, but power would still be sent to the front "axles" so you would just cap off where the axles go and go with the power from the rear, you would still lose overall power to the rear because it would still be trying to put power the front axles. Also, the rear ends and transfer cases were never meant for that, so it wont hold up for too long before stuff starts breaking.
