I made Guadalajara street tacos for dinner tonight!

What time is dinner?...may have to head southwest.

Doc's cooking is award-winning & always worth the trip! 😘😃

I like to do road trips for wrench days, I'm always open for one, so let me know
I say save your money. It isn't all that.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA I'm just kidding. I cringe every time I'm in or have to drive a NA sling.
I think I'm leaning pretty strongly toward a turbo system. I've been chatting with Kyle D about an adjustable system which lets me control the amount of boost from the cabin. I DO like the idea that the SC system delivers consistent power at all times and revs, but it's also considerably more expensive and probably more than I need for the way I drive.
I've gotta get a few more things settled before I pull the trigger, but I'm thinking of doing this either over my spring break - or in late June before my summer class starts.
Thanks to everyone for your help and advice, I'll keep you all posted on the build as it develops!
Doc&Ruby , I went up and talked with Dave@DDMWorks on Tuesday. He spent a lot of time answering all my questions and made some great suggestions for the install. I too have decided to go with the DDM Stage 1 turbo and a few other goodies. Working with Angie on finalizing the installation for February 2020. Great people to work with at DDMWorks. Can’t wait to get it installed. Thanks Dave and Angie for answering all my questions and concerns.
WHAT IS THIS BOOST THING YALL SPEAK OF?

Not sure which setup you are chatting with Kyle about, we have been using this setup a lot recently and it works fantastic! -

It is the same boost controller / wideband we used to set the 1 mile record with our Slingshot and rabtech has been using also. It will allow you to run the base spring pressure on whatever turbo you choose, then you just push and hold a button and instantly you are at the higher boost setting. You can switch back and forth while driving, no problem. With the higher boost setting, the gauge will monitor your air/fuel ratio and your boost pressure, if either of those gets out of line, the gauge will automatically cut boost back to the spring pressure, quicker than you will ever be able to see it happen while driving. Plus if you have any issues and need to know what air/fuel ratio you are running, you will have that information also, it offers a lot of functionality for the price.
Hope that helps,
Dave

It was great seeing you again and look forward to your install in the spring, that color combination is going to look super clean and nice!
Display MoreHow do I drive? On the one hand, I'm a pretty responsible driver, I like to leave plenty of "stupid space" around me (in case someone nearby does something stupid), I don't tailgate, and I haven't had an accident in over 40 years. My last ticket was 3 years ago (okay, so I got 3 in one traffic stop to make up for it. 🤠)
On the other hand, I've enjoyed fast cars for years, and I've had 3 fast turbo vehicles. I'm not afraid of dropping a gear and putting my foot in it and I'm no stranger to bouncing off the rev limiter. There's nothing quite like being behind a slow fellow going 45-50, dropping to third and blowing by him! 😁
I DO find that when I'm in 4th or 5th (and sometimes 3rd) that I want more response. I rarely find the sling lacking off the line, but above 45 mph I feel that it lacks authority. I think if I could get boosted up to 230 to 260 hp, I could be very pleased.
I can tell you I have zero interest in shredding tires or burnouts (no disrespect to those who love 'em), it's just not me. In fact, I would love it if the turbo could be "programmed" (if that's the right word) not to kick in until 2500 rpms or so. I have a feeling that too much power right at the off would make driving in even moderately damp weather something between silly and dangerous.
I hope that helps some - y'all have been very helpful with your suggestions and encouragement. Special kudos to Dave@DDMWorks and Kyle D. Your expertise has been terrific, fellas!
Since you seem to be getting everything out of your current setup, and are willing to run it out to redline, a little boost is probably going to work out well for you.
You also could look at having Kyle set you up with boost by gear if you go that route. That way you have lower boost in the first couple gears and just have the higher boost come on when you are in 4th/5th gear.
Thanks, Dave! That sounds like an excellent suggestion!
Only supercharger I ever had was first wife with a credit card. Only pussies need boost.
I Agree, they need to learn how to drive first!

Just came back from Home Depot...
They didn't have a pole long enough for me to touch that with. 🤠
Just another happy puss that goes fast!
My riding style is similar to yours. The zzp setup and mostly price interests me. I don't need Tire shredding horsepower. I just would like more horsepower every now and then. I find when I'm passing on the back roads 45-50 I always shift down to third and nail it and that has sufficed. But still wish I had a little more power.

I would settle for a Super Charger but it does not fit in the budget.

Yeah that's my problem to budget.
My only issue is I don't want to install it and I live in Maine which is quite a ways from DDM. I've been wanting to get SC for a couple years now but do to costs have been unable to pull the trigger. May be able to do it this spring. Actually I'd have one if it wasn't do to the wife. She freaks out when I nail my C7 vette to the floor
