Here is where I am starting from today...
-
With the HP for them listed at 300, that would be their base SC unit.
The short of it, Dave at DDM was not the Fastest..... Guess who was, and I still mowed the "grass" for everybody there running a SlingShot.... oops, I mean "ASS"! and I might have been one too!
And here is the video of @rabtech "beating" me to the line! posting ALL six of my slips in just a bit, and I beat him in the Quarter mile as well!
-
How did @Dave@DDMWorks do?
Was Dave There? I never really saw him?
-
Here are my time slips for the day, I believe they show that at one point in the qtr. mile, I may have come close to beating Bill Hahn's Qtr. mile runs?

Yes Dave was testing his BorgWarner EFR liquid and oil cooled turbo setup...
He has kept the HP and Torque a secret. But I can tell you it was really doing a good job on that stock engine....
Im going to sleep now. I'll let y all know after each run tomorrow how im doing....
So happy the news is finally out. I can't wait to see the numbers of the final product. I know it will be up to his high standards and the best turbo set up available. -

Pretty interesting that 2 completely different setups are running so close.
I guess you can cram all the hp you want and strip off as any parts as possible but the limitation is still there.
Congrats to @StickerDick for the first round of speed wins.
Can't wait to see what today brings.

I kinda expected to see completely stripped down Slingshots ... only keeping what is needed to get it down the track and retain some form of frontal aero ....
Kinda surprised everyone showed up as they did .....

Take a closer look at Dave's

Take a closer look at Dave's
I see the side panels are gone but that's the only photo I have of it, is more missing ..... would have thought someone would strip everything from the front fenders back, down to the frame.... just leaving the floor pan and driver seat ......The back end is a parachute with a huge negative pressure zone .......

I think it is just the side panels / mud flaps and he may have removed his splitter

I think this is still the best 1/4 mi, was not Bill’s either

I was planning on running my streamliner nose... But @rabtech said it was only fair to keep them looking like slingshots to be able to prove who had the Fastest SlingShot.... so he is the one who set the parameters for how we would run.
Basically, all three of us had Mickey Thompson ET Street Drag Radials, adjustable shocks, removed rear splash aprons, Dave@DDM did have his front side panels gone. Then I removed my mirrors, full size windshield and put in my single bubble windshield, and for the last three runs, I did remove my hood scoop and my seat cushion.
Areo wise, we were basically all the same due to front fenders and spoilers and hood setups. I'd think @rabtech would agree with me that hissetup was by far the heaviest due to all of the electronics and gizmos and stereo stuff he has... plus he is a plus size guy, Dave@DDM was by far the lightest and I was right in the middle.
But I think in this style of LSR, weight is not a negative as much as it is in 1/4 mile drag racing since top speed is the game.

Who isrunning this mystery sling ... From those pics it could be a corvette or Hellcat or a bycycle running for all we know?

It was a stock engine with ARP head bolts, Alpha Turbo, Alpha Header, Alpha side exhaust, Tuned automatic transmission runs were made a year and half ago with Andy as the pilot.
