Mark,
I've got a buddy that has a supercharged s2000 if you want some info on getting more out of that engine -
I found you 50 more horsepower
This is some funny crap. I love when he just threw in the pipe and filter.
-
Big thumbs up @StickerDick please report in with the drivability and pull out of turns experience.
here is a short video of Kenny and I running side by side at some redlights. I have my version, he has his... enough said!
-
I edited down this longer version, so if you really want to see the whole thing, here you go.... the side by side stuff begins around the 9 minute mark, there is a high speed run over the river (104mph) in the start of this video.
-
That's awesome looks like you guys were having a blast!!! Mark that beast sounds soooooo goooood!!!!!!
-
Nice. First, sorry about the clicking sounds. I changed GoPro mounts and the new one was a little loose and it was vibrating on the windshield. And to be clear.... @StickerDick said a "a couple runs" so I took it as 2.... hence why I didn't get on it at the 3rd light.
I have to admit....while I'm sitting there spinning my rear tire (even with traction control on ) his hooks right up and takes off. The power comes on after he is already moving.....not instantly like the turbo. It is definitely an awesome machine. One of my favorite builds.....next to mine anyway. -
Thanks @kenny_h and @StickerDick. This is really REALLY GOOD Video Those who are thinking of doing something like this. Great execution and research throughout! Damn I got to get my AZZ to Florida. Please keep the info coming!!

I know nobody wants to talk mpg... But... What's your avg @StickerDick?
I'm really disappointed with the efficiency of the GM motor in the Sling. Drove to Laredo and reset the calculator. I avg about 18 mpg when driving at the speed I'd like to 90-100mph in 5th.
Had to drop to 75-80mph to get to 20-21mpg...
I don't care in the city when I'm launching and driving hard, but highway cruising? Come on man!!!

I thought Kenny understood that if there is a green light, and you don't have traffic in front of you.... you go! So... Here is a award for his tentativness! Also.... Mileage? Really? I've just started driving this again and I really have no idea and I an afraid that is really , really low on my list of things I was worried about. But logoic would dictate that the Honda being smaller, lighter and 6 speeds instead of 5 would give you better mileage, but then, 4 50mm Throttle bodies at WOT, most of the time, and 52lb injectors and hauling ASS all of the
time, I'd so mileage is of no concern.Nice. First, sorry about the clicking sounds. I changed GoPro mounts and the new one was a little loose and it was vibrating on the windshield.

Yeah, figured that Mark... But thought I'd ask anyway...

Excellent video. I honestly didn't think that first light was going to change. Your sling sounds great!
-
Nice job guys
Looks like a blast and best of all only green lights no flashing blue ones -
Heading to Atlanta this morning for a car show, autocross event and track cruise.... Hopefully it will all be fun
