My name is Mark and I am up for connecting with other Slingshot owners
in the area. I have a 2016 Turbo Silver color Slingshot SL with a
Supercharger. Lots of mods and more on the way!!

This seems to be the perfect spot for all us Slingshot Houston folks to
gather. Slingshot Houston was organized in Feb 2016 and now has grown to
hundreds of Slingshoters. We organize local meets and rides and just
share experiences and joy of Slingshot life with each other.

You can find us on Facebook group for local within 350 miles of Houston, TX

We are going to update this description as more developments happen. We are working on something totally unique that I think everyone will enjoy!

We are excited to announce that we have a photographer who specializes in Automotive photography, Model photography and anything that is rad! He has a great eye for capturing the right look. His name is Ian Schexnider his company is Schexnider Photography. We are going to make a few stops at some cool photo op spots to get individual shots of your slingshot or you and your slingshot. Ian will be taking tips as form of compensation for his time. He will provide you with full resolution photos of the shots he takes

We are finalizing the route and stops now and will have updates posted soon.
Things keep getting better. We just got word from one of our event sponsors Rev Dynamics Custom Paint they are giving away one of their Jumbo wall graphics and $250.00 Off gift certificate off any air ride kit!

I finally found time to update here. Mine hit 436HP with the Supercharge build the guys at DDM Works @Dave@DDMWorks did. I am waiting for them now to put up the full build details now that it has been delivered. We were keeping lots of the goodies quiet at first because well....we just did not know where the madness would end. It truly turned into a monster and it screams!

Quote from Jeff@DDMWorks

Actually I think you heard a much much angrier sling on the dyno. The silver one we had out there in Texas was getting tuned up even more.

Yeah It is kinda Super Super Charged! Hey Jeff Now that it is Delivered I gave Dave the go ahead to post it up!! I want my own Build Thread! Post it away @Jeff@DDMWorks and @Dave@DDMWorks

I did not find definition of hooning. But did find Hoon. It mean speeding, fast maneuvers, Burnouts and donuts for onlookers to cheer about. Yep I am a hooner!!!

@rickgi
Do you have a digital link to the review. Or can you take photos of the pages and post here?

Dave installed one of these clips on my Slingshot. I get it back tomorrow! Woohoo!! Zoom Zoom

I still think those superchargers are so dang cute...

I can tell you the air at 467hp is pretty sweet smelling!

Just messing with ya. It does sound sweet.

Anything in the 400 HP range is cool.

That's awesome @SilverCarbon ! You went all in. Yours is the first I heard of with the water/methanol. Look forward to seeing your dyno #'s.

Yep! Lots of firsts on the combination! It for sure is a beast to set the new standard!

Well. I think you are on to something.

I think in part the answer is this is temporary. We are working on exact location of filter. We do have plans to change this.

We are not done yet as lots of tuning needs to be done and a few other things that have not been mentioned yet.

Whats up yall! Well here is the update! I tried to put it all into this video. My slingshot is now running but we still have a little ways to go before it is completed. We have more tuning to do on the Haltech ECU.
Here is a short list of the build: Everything listed below was built designed and installed by DDM Works.
DDM Works Built motor
Upgraded Rotrex Supercharger
Aggressive Cams
Water Methanol Injection Kit - I forgot to mention this before
Haltech computer
Adjustable Sway Bar

Performance Clutch

Is the road course in may a group thing @SilverCarbon???

I might be interested... Is there any local thing (Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, Houston area) we can do similar to @TheRock, @ethermion, and the rest of the Wrecking Crew (which I am happy and lucky to say I am a part of and will make every effort to join/ride with next year) do?

I was just going to go myself. Last time I mentioned not enough people want to go. I think only one other person said the were interested. So....Yeah I will post up when I go.

@TravAZ I am wondering what setup about a slingshot for drag strip makes it look like poop? Do you mean the Drag tire mounted on the back? I added mine with how I run it on 1/4 mile. I use other tires for street and getting another set of tires for the road course I am taking it on in May.

Quote from Slingrazor

By removing the fenders behind the front wheels I removed most of the drag and lift problem of the hood. Really simple mod that cost me about 30.00.

What cost $30 to remove the splash guard. This is something already part of my build. But Did you buy something to put in place? Or what? I see something white on your pics where splash guard goes. Any info would be appreciated.

I would love to see that sling. Pics? Video? Do you mean yours? Or someone else V8?

Quote from MiM

Alphas fastest 1/4 mile was very low 10s, right? Anybody gotten better?

They use automatics...

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.

Quote from jluna317

@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.

Quote from Tango

Awesome @SilverCarbon I will have to stay up to date on that build. Need to get you on this list ASAP!

Yep! Only 7 more days according to @Dave@DDMWorks and the work that @Jeff@DDMWorks is doing as well on my slingshot.
