Re: SCCA Time Trial Video Clip
Ran a 2:10 on configuration D. Was in the lower 1/3 rd, but you should see what I was up against! Two Formula Continentals, Formula SCCA, Radical SR3, Ford Spec Racer, Corvette C5 w/ really fast driver, built 240Z, American Iron Camaro, built WRX STI, built mustangs, Honda Challenge cars, etc.
There is more in the truck for sure and the driver will get faster with more seat time.
I'm waiting for the times to post on the web so I can paste them here.

Funny. You are the 2nd person that joked about that car being a Geo. Actually it's a Honda Challenge car. Flyweight and go kart fast!

Re: SCCA Time Trial Video Clip
Funny to see you joking about not having big enough balls to drive it any faster. I pretty much remember thinking I was going to die the last time I rode in the truck, and that was what 3 years ago? Funny how time flies. The Talon I had at the time was sold to a friend, and now is back at my shop as he showed up at my work a couple weeks back with a nasty case of rod knock. Its getting a full 6 bolt swap.
What turbo are you running? sounded like you had some decent lag, and it takes a little bit of turbo to get some lag on the 4.3. Also, don't I remember you talking about not doing an aluminum block because you didn't think they were strong enough?

Re: SCCA Time Trial Video Clip
It's all relative!
TE-44 on the turbo. Not much lag, just sounds that way in the video.
Aluminum block adds a few worries. Heat, making sure it was assembled correctly, but since the block was designed for road racing and not all out drag racing, it shoudn't break if I don't kill it with huge boost and it was built right. I want it to run all day long on conservative boost which is what I do with the stock/current motor anyway. No need to run 22 lbs and overheat and stress everything for 20 minutes in the desert heat. I will run 15-18 psi with the new motor with water injection and a very large intercooler.
I wouldn't want to make an all out drag truck with an aluminum motor. What really interested me in the motor was that the weight loss/weight distribution/lower cg=better handling factor.

The block weighs 70 lbs. Also the heads are aluminum vs the stock iron heads. Oil pan, valve covers are aluminum. RPM stainless headers replace the cast iron exaust manifolds.
