All I can say is keep trying @MACAWS
We have a few more seats in the clubhouse.
So what is the plan to get there?
If you posted elsewhere, my apologies but it would be good to post here for others lurking.
@Tango I have posted this before in another thread. This should give you an idea of what I have done and plan on doing.
Well I am not sure if you had seen all the other posts on my slingshot.
You can search the posts the DDM did about the Texas install. They also
installed my friends supercharger kit. You can also find the Drag Slick
post and 1/4 mile posts.
Back in December just before Christmas Dave with DDM Works installed
Built Motor, Supercharger Kit, Upgraded radiator, Aluminum Surge Tank,
Coolant Re-route, Center Feed Fuel Rail, Smaller Pulley on Supercharger,
Bob ECM Tune, Performance Clutch. That was a huge upgrade from stock. I
loved it. I took it to the 1/4 mile track and the street tire I was
spinning on hard launch. This is not a fault of the Slingshot per say.
It is just a characteristic of the Slingshot with one wheel, light
weight and lots of HP with driver hitting throttle hard to get faster
numbers. So I decided if I am going to get it on the 1/4 mile track then
I should get a track tire. After 3 different rims and tire combos I
ended up with a Racing wheel called Race Star and Mickey Thompson E/T
Drag Slick. It HOOKED!!! No spinning at all!!!
Check out the E/T Mickey Thompson Drag Slick being used on 1/4 mile. Here is video.
So...right away then I started talking with Dave at DDM works telling
him I wanted to go faster actually much faster and part of that would be
more HP. We together along with Jamie Roy @Shot
we decided I needed to go with ability to custom tune my slingshot and
the best choice for me was Haltech ECM along with some additional
upgrades.
Dave at DDM Works around Jan 10th 2017 had finally got the special Cams
for Supercharged Slingshot and started testing. If I remember right it
produced the same set up I have in his slingshot and Cams with about 380
HP. I knew I wanted the Cam. So that got added to the list of upgrades.
I am also doing some smaller modifications like short throw sifter and the upgraded Swaybar.
We also decided I should go with bigger Supercharger and and some more
upgrades that with the custom tuning we should be over 400 HP.....maybe
more!
I will keep updated as more happens over the next week or two. If anyone
wants to see it in person. I am in Houston, TX and will be at the Texas
Hill Country meet.

I am trying but @Dave@DDMWorks has cast me to the side like an old shoe!
I doon't get any love, or anymore HP
Awesome @SilverCarbon I will have to stay up to date on that build. Need to get you on this list ASAP!
@SilverCarbon what did you run on the 1/4 in the s.c. sling
With great power comes great responsibility...

Yep! Only 7 more days according to @Dave@DDMWorks and the work that @Jeff@DDMWorks is doing as well on my slingshot.
@SilverCarbon what did you run on the 1/4 in the s.c. sling
I do not remember exactly. But I do remember it was 2.2 seconds faster than the stock slingshot in the video.
Alphas fastest 1/4 mile was very low 10s, right? Anybody gotten better?
They use automatics...
I need to get on the build schedule for some more HP... @Dave@DDMWorks and @Jeff@DDMWorks ~> WHEN can I bring in the Sling ( @MACAWS and I are going to spec out some stuff first, but that shouldn't take long ).

Do I have to buy dinner first or can we get right to it!

I'm a point A -> B type girl... that said, let's skip the meal, and go right for desert!

The Slingshot that was an Alpha Turbo and Automatic transmission running E85 fuel with the fastest 1/4 mile was 11.27 that I saw. Unless you saw somewhere it was in 10 seconds. I never have.
To my Knowledge and I seem to be doing lots of research on this. Nothing in Slingshot has hit anything in 10.00 second or 10.99 second range. I would like to see in person when that happens.
Not into anything drag tbh, but pretty sure to get into tens, some serious tought has to be put on grip and aerodynamic drag. The SS just gets to a point where around 210km/h you feel like the hood wants to rip off, then front end is all over the place and even if you had 1000hp its like pushing thru a concrete wall.
Removing splash guards ala @Slingrazor may help some...
I'm totally into drag... Oh, uh, wait, wrong forum...
