@StickerDick is correct about the limit to the participants. Since its so close to the end of the year Im betting the spots fill up quick. I just wish I knew if they were starting at 12:01 AM or if it was just "sometime" on the 10th.

Straight off their website. I JUST found this. I was planning on staying up until midnight to buy tickets. Now we can all get a little sleep and buy in the morning.

Ticket Information DRIVER REGISTRATION WILL OPEN ON AUGUST 10TH AT 8AM EASTERN TIME!MOTORCYCLES ALLOWED!

Florida 1/2 Mile Shootout - Driver Pass - wannaGOFAST

Oh shoot, sorry. I was thinking of CBM, who is located in Colton CA. Will they perform install there in Colton?
If not, do you have a authorized reliable shop in Southern California you trust with installing your kit?

Unfortunately, CBM does not do the installs. They only do the PCM flashing for us and currently we do not have any shops that we work with that I could recommend to you. Maybe there are some other members on here in SOCAL that could make a recommendation of a shop they trust and is familiar with forced induction installs?

will ZZP perform install while I wait if I drive to Colton CA for the day on a weekend?

@p120ud213azn Hey Chuck, to start, ZZP is located in Wyoming MI and sadly we are only open Mon-Fri 9am-5pm. The install takes 2 days. It's a total of about 8hrs of labor typically and we also need to verify the tune. But for the tuning we still have to send your PCM to CBM to be flashed. With an install here we would overnight it to CBM, they would take a day to flash it, and then overnight it back to us. If you have any other questions please let me know. You can also email me directly at kyle@zzperformance.com if that is any easier for you.

Save my post and look back at it when you have a chance to dyno the machine and get some input from a boosted guru in your area. I think it will make more sense at a later time.

I am not biased towards a certain kit/brand, as I have a mix of parts on my machine. The turbo kit I have currently, cannot even be purchased. I simply want to see the rest of the group get good/correct information.

Anyone can run more boost on their kit. It is as simply as changing wastegate springs or turning up a manual boost controller. The description and information should revolve around how the kit was designed and what it will do with no modifications.

Right now, it's all just super confusing and looks deceiving from my perspective...

This marketing/strategy makes a bunch more sense if it will do the number safely.

A more affordable kit capable of an exhilarating 100 whp over stock without as many risks associated with higher boost.

@TravAZ If there is anything that seems confusing or questions you have regarding the kit that you think the group should have, please let me know. I'm happy to answer any questions. As for the kit, it is completely safe how we sell it out of the box and will make the power numbers we list safely and reliably. The description and information we list is actual results that the gen pop can expect. We have been testing this kit for years before releasing it to the public. ZZP is not in the business of rushing parts to the industry that are not tested and could have a high failure rate just to get your money up front and make the quick sale. We would rather be a little "late to the party" and bring a solid product and have the ability to grow and establish a positive relationship with people and offer a solid product and hopefully retain some repeat business.

ICON Airflight. It has a retractable visor under the full face shield. They run small so go up a size if you go this route. Very breathable and lightweight. I typically only wear it to the track or on the highway.

I will be there for sure! Can't wait to meet everyone!

We just finished a photo and video shoot with our SS. It will all be released soon. We are also getting a new independent sight ready just for the SS which should launch in the next 4 weeks. Here’s a little teaser from the shoot.

All I can say is FL is going to be amazingly interesting and a whole shit load of fun.

@rabtech There’s bigger EFRs available but they wouldn’t be a good fit for our Slingshots really. Unless all you wanted was a Dyno queen.

I’m trying to decide if I want a 6758 or a 7163. Another reason, albeit selfish, I want you to come to Indy. I want a ride in your beast.

We run a 7670 on our ION Redline and a 9180 on one of our Cobalts. The cobalt is a purpose built 1/2mi car.

I run 9-10psi of boost on stock bottom end, head, and valve train. The only thing I changed from the base turbo kit we make was I went up to 42# injectors to accommodate more than 6psi and adjusted the tune for the larger injectors. While I would say I am at the safety limit of the stock bottom end, it has been reliable since we put this kit on. And we drive it to try an break it to test parts. I would definitely not call a properly installed and tuned turbo or supercharger kit unreliable or say that either set up is more unreliable than the other.

I'm currently at 1 street tire and 2 drag radials on the rear per season here in MI. LOL

I need to get my new right angle drive put in before i head that way....

They just have to ship it to me first..

LMAO you're going to need a bigger EFR for that!

A totally non related question here. Is it in Marion Indiana where the top of the courthouse is covered in copper?

The Google told me Green Bay WI New Copper Roof on Brown County Courthouse Dome Losing Sheen but I have zero idea. I'm sure that is not the only court house roof covered in copper in the US.

Quote from rabtech

I may try to go to the Indianapolis 1/2 mile event. I just need to see if Dave can fit me in for a quick tune with my boost dialed back up. I think it's fine now till I get to about 15 or 16 psi. But I would rather let him run it in a safe environment first.

You should come to Indy either way. There's still spots left and it would be great to put a face to the name and voice. Even if you're on 10psi. I'll only be on 9psi. We can even make that friendly wager you had mentioned before where the loser buys dinner.

Quote from SSREAPER

@rabtech Correct me if Im wrong but 0 to 60 in 4 seconds puts you in the 12.4 - 12.6 quater mile give or take? Damn thats alot of power!!
SSREAPER

@SSREAPER With a sticky tire and good grip on a prepped track, he's likely closer to 11.9s - 12.2s at around 115 - 118mph neighborhood on 10psi. I'm basing that off what I've been running at 9psi with a drag radial in the 1/4 with a manual trans. That auto sounds like it shifts pretty fast.

FL is going to be so much fun! That thing is MOVING!

Quote from Flybuddy

Do you guys make Tops?

@Flybuddy Great pic! At this time we do not make tops. It is something we were tossing around the other day actually. It wouldn't happen until next year at the soonest. We will likely be releasing mostly performance parts in the beginning and likely slowly branch out.

Quote from MrGrey

so we’re looking at $3k for parts + $1.2k for labor, estimated to $4.2k altogether... not bad at all..

@MrGrey If you were also doing gauges it would the $4.2k plus the cost of gauges. The failsafe is $300 and the temp gauge is $175 which would put you closer to $4.7k But if you are just doing the kit and install here at ZZP you'd be looking at about $3,974.69 out the door including MI 6% sales tax on just the hard parts.

@War Hoop while I cannot comment on other companies times and rates, for our kit specifically it's about an 8hr install. Our shop rate is $100/hr so about $800 for install. As far as the gauges, it really all depends on what gauge you are installing. My water temp gauge took me an hour but the failsafe took 3hrs. That probably could've taken 2 but I'm really anal retentive about things and how clean the install looks. I solder and heat shrink all my connections and then it all goes in wire loom which is taped off in certain spots and then the entire route is zip tied into place. So just in labor, if you did the same setup as I did you would be looking at somewhere around the $1100 - $1200USD mark.

@MiM @MrGrey

I am by no means a forced induction expert but in my opinion ...Super chargers are indeed safer than a turbo for people who dont know how they work. The superchargers air induction is in direct alignment with engine rpm...the numbers are repeatable. At a specific RPM you have a specific amount of air being induced. The only way it changes is if you change the pulley on the supercharger. When the kit is designed, it is designed with the safety limits of the engine taken into consideration. There is no need for gauges although having them just to keep an eye on things is a great idea.

Turbos rely on the exhaust to spool it and drive it and that alone introduces variables. Being able to have a controller to change boost levels introduces another set of variables. Variables on top of variables on top of variables creates a situation where one thing goes out of whack and the whole equations goes to hell. If you like to fiddle and know what your doing... turbos are great

That to me is a factor to turbo or to supercharge.

Now 2 things... 1:If I am wrong then @Dave@DDMWorks who is considered to be the master of BOTH systems please educate me.
2: Nowhere did I say one was better than another so dont go there!!

The only comment I have on this is that on our kit, boost is regulated by the waste gate spring. You cannot physically make more boost than what the spring in the waste gate will allow you to make. Sure you could raise the boost level by either adding a manual boost controller, which we do not have in our kit, or by changing the spring in the waste gate to a heavier spring, but then you're taking the kit outside of what we designed it to do and then yes, problems could arise.
