Protomotive & Todd

Guys, as you may be aware I am awaiting the arrival of my PE700 kit from Todd. Living in Singapore, I have not had the pleasure of seeing Todd's workshop nor the type of cars that he has in the workshop at any time. Further. I dont even know what Todd looks like!!! Heck, he seems like a great guy on email though

If any of you are located close to Protos workshop and happen to pay a visit, it would be great to put a face to the name, as well as get a feel for the workshop (I have only seen the small pics in the website).

Any pic contributions would be great....

Hi,

I also bought few things from Todd. Like you, I never saw him in person causse I am living in Taiwan. He seems like a very nice person to talk to or through mail but he is very busy recently. I have not received his reply for a while. My currently set up is very close to your PE700. Since mine is a tip too, there are too many variation involved. Todd and I still working on it and hope one day good thing will happen. Please post your result soon after you finished. My recently records are 100-200 around 7sec and 200-300 less than 19 sec.

PS. I already switched my torque converter to EVOM's. You should be very careful about yours at this kind of power level.

Ever see to movie Deliverance? I have been to Todd's place and it was kind of like being in that movie.
Fortunately, I didn't have the Ned Beaty experience

As far as building and tuning fast Porsche's, IMO he is the absolute best.

Protomotive Arkansas

My 200-300 is 15.3 seconds (extrapolated from my TX Mile run)

Here are a couple of pics of Todd and Cynthia:
Fantastic Capabilities out of a messy shop (that is completely self-sufficient).
They have in house machine shop, engine dyno room, chassis dyno, motor build room
(the only clean area as Cyn demands). It is in the middle of nowhere Arkansas on some of the most beautiful property imaginable. He has to trailer cars up and down the 2 mile
driveway due to heavy rutting in the rains.

I wish I can run as fast as your.

I currently run 1.4 bars by proto 24/18G. What is yours?

Only good tuners Steve, bad tuners will have a target on their back; and for safety reason, pics shouldn't be posted.
