XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXI have been setting back keeping a eye on these builds
and try and stay out of the way.
Wow this build is moving and sounding great and I am keeping notes.
It sure is great to see and hear your /turbo run and move, I will be in my chair drooling at you and Bills builds.
and so proud to have a chance to learn
and watch great things being dun. :glasses7:
Thanks memike for the kind words its been a long road for me and the valiant and honestly I have a ways to go with the build but the mechanical stuff all appears to be working ill no more in the next day or two im trying to button up some of the small things so I can pass tech at clay city and i have a pretty mild tune on the car now I'm planning on slowly upping the boost after I see just how the car will respond.
It's been a learning process for me as well as its been for the members who have taking a interest in my build witch was the point of this thread and i hope more members will think of going in this direction for there power needs.
But Bill and myself are only following the lead of shaker, turbovaliant66 they are the ones that lite the spark once I seen the kind of numbers they were putting down that's when i decided that was the direction I wanted to go
Thanks again for the interests in the build
I'll definitely keep everyone posted and keep your fingers crossed that i can get this little animal to KY this weekend

Wow, Aaron; I am SOOOOO impressed!!!! I was hoping that we might be finishing our bucket of bolts for the Clay City race, so we could help each other on our initial outing, but we fell behind... as usual.
Lots of little thinga need to get taken care of before we can make a full pass down the strip, but every day we get a little bit closer.
Please keep us posted on the TOAD's progress; I am way excited about this!!!!:cheers:
The way I see it, the most important thing to watch out for is making sure the ignition timing doesn't accidentally get moved and you somehow, end up with more than 18 degrees total advance. That can cause it to detonate i a heartbeat... or quicker.
Keeping it rich enough at ALL TIMES and watching the spark advance like a Hawk, would seem to be the way to prevent any expen$ive "accidents."
Good luck!!! Freddie and I are really proud of you for putting this effort together as quickly as you did! I hope you go 10.50 and 130!!! :)
