been raining here all day and just starting to turn to sleet,
I guess some roofs wont be getting done this fall, we'll see ...

alota guys were having trouble with their gaypro3 or hero,
the 2 was alot easier to set up and download and will be cheaper.
many laptops couldnt download the hero3, alota swearing went on ...

Well got out and did some "dangling" in the ditch...lol (yea I know my panels are falling off, have to fix those before show time next week end) My pyro doesn't work worth a chit, so I opened the projets 3 full turns to be on the safe side. Was bogging out on top so I dialed them back a bit and now its running wicked. Pulling rpm in 2feet of fresh in the ditch and I added 5g of pin weight so that's always good. Runs like a stock sled with some "boost on top". Its set at 5lbs now and I want 7lbs out of it. If I find a deal on a 66series turbo I'll be getting it I think. 12lbs would be what I really want. Think I need a little bigger tube to pressurize the slides tho. Couple times when I let off the gas they didn't seem to want to close right away. All and all I'd say it's running pretty good considering I just guessed at the jetting and clutching requirement. Got some stuff to do this week but It will be on the hill next weekend!!:cool:

Good work on a successful "shake down"

My GoPro 3 (black) works great. No experience with earlier models, nor the new 3+ so I guess I have nothing to base my findings against.

thanks!. I have No experience ether so might as well learn with the newest one. The video quality of these new ones is pretty good. I want to learn how to edit them add music to the clips ext. So probably get a new computer for that any ways.

I've used "Windows Live Movie Maker" it's pretty idiot-proof, though it doesn't do super-fancy stuff.

I've used that in the past. Looking for some thing a little better than that.

I'd like to find something a little more fancy than that as well. I'll worry about that once I've compiled enough footage of me getting stuck and running into stuff haha.

We just took a brand new 66 series Aero off of a customers sled. He would probably sell the whole turbo kit for 3000.00. It is an air to air intercooled Pro kit.

Thanks. Im just looking for the turbo though. They are 2500$ new and I'd spend no more than half of that on a used turbo. This is a 2008 sled, so im not putting a ton of money in it. If it was an Etec kit might be interested That's a pretty good buy for someone who wants to get into a turbo sled:beer:

GoPro's are pretty fool-proof when it comes to "point and shoot"

Good luck buddy!

I meant the camera is point-and-shoot haha

No worries. Some people think turbo's are just for climbing,, Not true . They work awesome for boondocking in the trees also.:beer:
