  True. It would certainly add some weight which would show up
in the 1/4mi, but the hp and torque numbers given were both
rear wheel, so I would expect any additional resistance due
to the 4wd would already have been accounted for. So, I'm
assuming Ron's engine has a little more power than Bernd's
(at the time of comparison anyway) since the power numbers
were basically the same, but Ron's had to go through the
transfer case.
