LMM: Stock turbo with drop in batmowheel
- Thread starter gmduramax
- Start date
EGT's are lower cruising not WOT.
So it seems to spool quicker but yet runs same et with same tune and temp is warmer?all the time to install. Hard to make worth while with those results. I was wanting to do this to but unless u get better numbers I may not.
It actually ran .2 slower probably because it was warmer, not really sure it needs more testing.
Even if the wheel did help it should have at least ran the same times it did before even though it was warmer.
Ran consistent 12.57-12.62
Even though it was a hotter day. I would have liked the truck to run at least a 12.57. I still think it needs to be fine tuned, but I do not believe it will be any faster than 12.4 in the best conditions. The truck also smoked more than usual. Not moving enough air or the temp affected the truck more than I thought.
I made four passes today. All were 12.70-12.765 so the truck is very consistent.
A few years ago Pat stuck an LBZ turbo on Casper and the spool up was quicker and the truck felt faster. We all drove it and were impressed. At the track it ran slower. We got fooled by the quicker spool up. Pat can give more details on this.
I guess im still baffled, if it spools quicker and makes the same boost then how can it be slower at the track?
How quick does a stock VVT under a boosted launch take to reach full boost? not very long at all. If you went from a standard cast S475 to a billet or batmo wheel the faster spool up would help you go quicker because there is less of a lag.
I'd say for the time it takes to put in, it's not worth the money IMO. Like said, on a bigger laggy turbo then it will help some.

I could never make heads or tails of my last question either....apparently neither can anyone else. I think it has a much better chance of working on an lb7 than any of the later models, but what do i know
if you can afford the $400 wheel and then most people will pay to get it installed, then saving a bit longer will get them a whole new charger will a LOT more potential?
In the end it prob not as cheap/easy as it seemed at first?
