Not much for info on the site as to what kind of power gains will be seen. Would you expect to see more airflow, quicker spool or what??? I understand a billet wheel is better but worth the $200?
I talked to them today. I was told there isn't any real data they can provide. They advise the results should be compared to those found by the 7.3L community. Since the "Wicked Wheel" coming out these are designed along the same lines. Wish I had some real world info, and for $200 it's a tad cheap for the gains.
Trust me I already know more than I should. I'm running a bit more mods than most.
I have plenty experience running a Pmax. While it is a beast when configured right there are 6.0 owners that want to have more power but want to keep stock tuning. A wheel that has the potential to add 20-30hp on a drop in for $200 is more attractive than spending $1500 for a Pmax and a SCT. After seeing another site quoting a 60HP gain with this wheel alone I figured other owners may want to try this wheel.
Now that 60HP gain was not on a bone stock truck. It was a stock turbo, running larger injectors and tuning.
I have since added a billet single plane wheel to my Pamx. My initial findings give me a BSEG!! I'm happy with the low cost upgrade for my Pmax. I'll post more info as I continue to drive.
The stock wheel has shown to add 60HP on a modded truck. If it reacts like my Pmax the drivability of the turbo should be improved.
I bought one of these for my 03 and love it. Lower egts and higher boost and quicker spool up. I replied in another thread about this wheel and would recomend it...just call and order it so you get the right wheel.
The single plane wheel for my Pmax is the only way to go for a low cost upgrade. The Pmax for me has always been a good upgrade, adding the wheel makes it that much nicer to drive. Spools nicely!!
I had the chance recently to compare the 7x7 d/p to the 11b s/p. Stock turbo and stock stick. My finding is I much prefer the 11 blade.. across the whole rpm range it seemed to flow more air. Turbo fart seemed to be less with the 11b also. I towed with the 7x7 and it did a little better than stock. I have not had the chance to tow with the 11b as of yet..may not get the chance as I have a BTS STG2 in transit...
I did a lot of research on these and this one seems like the best deal. A lot of people claim the Batmowheel is all hype and doesn't live up to the promises.
