Im thinking of doing the 72mm atmosphere on my pickup. And was wondering what trans is recommended for this and reliable. Also thinking of doing high pressure batmowheel, would that be benificial to me at all? If so how much. Also how much axle wrap would I have, are traction bars recommened?

You probably already have axle wrap issues with the power you're currently making. PMF bars FTW!

I personally don't see the high pressure batmowheel as being beneficial, but nobody has any testing to prove that they work....or don't work.

A basic SunCoast rebuild and a torque converter (RCD or DPC) would be the route I would go. That will hold the power.

Since I run a hand shaker, I can't comment on the tranny. Otherwise, what Jeff said. I bet even stock you would notice a difference with the Tbars. I definitely could tell a difference with just a CAI/tuner/exhaust. As to the HP batmo, most don't think it would add much, but I don't know of anyone who has actually tried it alone to know one way or another. Elite is planning on doing a bunch of testing of different turbo combos, but I am not sure if it will include a Batmo. I suspect not.

Well pmf trac bars are on the list as well, prolly wont do the batmo due to it prolly wouldnt do as much as its worth.

If you do the HP batmo, let us know. It would be the first I know of (if done by itself) when combined with a 71 or 72. One guy on here runs the 71 batmo with HP batmo, but he did them at the same time so it is hard to say if it helped.

I know of a truck here in GA that is running Elite's 71mm with a stock high pressure turbo equipped with a batmowheel. It hit the rollers after my truck at the dyno day I had a few weeks back. Our trucks are almost identical other than tuning and the batmowheel. The difference in horsepower was 1.
