Had to check...so just went out to the garage and started up the Slingshot. OEM under the hood and 86,800+ miles and idling just under a 1000 RPM. Old and couldn't remember so had to check. I do believe that mine had always been the same.
thanks EJ for the info. wasn't sure if I was correct or not. could just be with the blow off valve working just seems like it was idling to high lol.
For the ones with the quad kit. Has anybody come up or came across wheel lights for the kits yet. Right before I purchased the trakhammer, I bought a set of light rings from ZSW. I haven't came across anything for the quads yet. And with all I have going on, I really don't have time to try to have some made up or designed yet.
Question for the supercharger guys. I have noticed since my install my idle RPM's have been around a 1000. Is this correct? I want to say before the install it idled around 500 or so but I may be wrong. but I feel like 1000 RPM are a little high for just sitting and idling.
Wouldn’t a nice looking header be better?

you are correct sir, I have been looking at some just not sure what I want at this time. I may be wrong but I thought I read somewhere on here that Dave done a test with the stock manifold and some aftermarket ones. and the results were the stock done just as good as the aftermarket ones. that was the reasoning behind not getting a header as fast just looking at different designs and what would work with the welter dual exhaust. by the way hope to see you in September sir,
Funinthesun praying for you and your family. many blessing to you all.
We can powdercoat them, but typically the heat from the exhaust right underneath will brown the powdercoat overtime.
Thank you sir, will be ordering one after our little slingshot rally in Eureka Springs in September.
Another option if you are planning on keeping the stock exhaust manifold -

do like the looks of that, looks really good. any powder coat options?
happy late birthday sir. 
Display MoreFully installed supercharger set up from DDMworks. Had a chance for a ride today after an initial break in run yesterday. Initially intended to use an aftermarket exhaust but to keep the peace with the wife reverted back to the supercharger with a stock exhaust. With the stock set-up you do loose the full potential even so it does turn up the fun factor a notch or two. Set-up worked for me for a few reasons. It should be noted that the outside air temp was 95, traction was as good as it gets. Rolling in second gear it was easy to break traction. Merging onto the interstate from second gear I got on it and its smoked the tire quite well. The engine pulls strong through the gears. It's a good "kick in the pants" in stock exhaust form. Haven't put in the miles for a good calculation yet but I believe the mileage per tank is going to remain fairly good. Sound level in the cockpit is still at an acceptable conversation level. Down the road if I find a middle of the road sound level exhaust system an easy upgrade could happen but quite happy with the Supercharger/stock exhaust set-up.
Another note, installation was fairly easy. Don't let it be a factor in consideration to install a supercharger. With the parts in view and the instructions in hand the process is much easier to comprehend. This is a newer kit requiring no wire splicing or soldering. I believe the old kit required some wire cutting and soldering? I also believe the new kit gives an accurate calculation of miles remaining? Dave@DDMWorks can better answer that.
Good kit, quality stuff, great fun. Yes, worth it for me! Now for a new tire!
Did you modify your exhaust heat shield? I took mine off due to it touching the SC hose.
Trooper , will probably be getting together soon but someone is planning a September event in Eureka. Not sure who. Patti saw it on FB. Some of us are going on our Epic Adventure from 9/16 - 10/10. About 4500 miles. Y’all are welcome to come. It will be a lot of fun.
thanks for the offer, just can not take that much time off from work. sounds like it will be a great ride. oh I think i still have my sprocket when I done the quad.
any thoughts on having another get together this year sir.
Guys thank you for the information.
Troy hooked me up with my rear spoiler and all the brackets. He is a great guy to work with and will go out of his way to make sure you are happy with your kit. Worth every penny I spent with all the upgrades.
Have to agree, he was a pleasure working with when I was ordering my quad from him.
I'm running the 110 pulley. No need for a gauge.
Yes sir, I am pretty sure that is what I have. was not sure if most have gauges for a little extra insurance to see there boost and making sure it is running right.
Boost Gauges? I for got to get one, what kind are you all using, and which one is a good one.
Paint! Easy to do.
That does look good.
What's that big metal junction on the intake charge tube? Here is my setup.
I believe it is an improved set up, you unbolt your throttle body and bolt on that piece then bolt the throttle body to that. Have to say I like this set up.
You need to get a color matching valve cover. They are not expensive.
Yes sir I have been looking around for another valve cover to do. chavey2 that is my plan is to try to find some high temp yellow close to that color. was going to try my hand at powder coating have the oven and equipment .
got the supercharger installed and bleed.. now waiting on my ECM to get back to me. can't wait to go for a ride. going to clean up some of this wiring and get it looking better.
Wow, that yellow looks awesome! Nice job on the install!
Thanks, Dave@DDMWorks done a great job on the powder coat. now to clean up the wires and try to make it look a little better.
