90 % of us are running that boost with the stock S/C,
(I am) if thats all your after, put a JLP or PSP Forced Air kit in,
a 4 or 5 lb lower and you'll have 13-15 lb's EASY
AND SAFELY

The logical move if your set on an aftermarket S/C is
is the KB or the 140 Work's. The Works 140 seems to have the makings of a BEAST no doubt, And the KB is already on hundreds if not thousand of Lightning's and showing major improvements with extremly easy and quick bolt on installation.

 

im kinda wanting to run the 112 though, i wonder if it would outoperform the KB

 

From what I've seen in person, matching boost for boost with the same mods, than 112 will perform better the the KB.

BUT, the KB still has a higher max boost level. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the WORKS 112 can boost up to 18-20 psi. Which is plenty for a stock bottom end.

Where the KB goes up to 25-28psi?

Had to just add this picture of Dale-01


Running a WORKS 112

 

If i wasnt going to build the stock block up then, would you think the Works 112 blower would be a better choice than the KB if I was only planning on running 12-13#'s of boost, and maybe 14 at the track? do you think there would be a difference? Safer, cooler, better on the engine, etc. ??? BTW, is Dale-01 running a built block, or on the stock bottom end? Any more pics of the 112 also?

 

With a built lower I would go straight for the 140 or 201

 

If I was building the motor up i would go for the 140 or KB....but my truck is a daily driver and taken to the track only once an awhile. BTW, does Works power have a website with information about their blowers?

 

I was told that the 112 is the best blower for a daily driven street truck.

Also it is quoted on here somewhere that the KB maxes out at 22PSI. Man am I envious.

 

well it looks like the 112 could be the better choice over the KB, how much power it is suppolse to add over the eaton if they are both running 14 lbs

 

I can speak from experience with the Kenne Bell and I drive my truck every day. It is a great street performer and offers alot more torque and power over the Eaton with comparable boost levels. Whoever said the Kenne Bell was not a everyday driver has never owned one.

As far as the 112 over the Kenne Bell I don't think so. The 140 however looks like it may be a better choice for max power, but that has not been proven yet. I would stick to the 140 or Kenne Bell. If street duty is all you do and you like to retain the factory look the Kenne Bell would be my choice(the reason I purchased one). If you are looking for max power I would wait and see what happens with the 140 before making a choice.

One other thing the Kenne Bell, 140 or 112 is no harder on the motor than the other. The boost level and tuning however are. I run a stock bottom end with 15 psi on the street and 18 psi at the track(still waiting to go) with a good street program. The added performance is worth it to me.

Just my opinion.....

Thanks Mike

 

I think that Tim or Paul at REM could answer alot of your questions as well as Sal at PSP.

 

So does Works have a website for their blowers/products? or should I just give Sal at PSP or Tim at REM a call and speak with them about it....

 

they have a website but its just the phone number, www.works-power.com, i wish sal or paul would talk about the 112

 

yeah, Sal or Tim, if you could chime in and give us your info....

 

more than likely ill end up getting the KB

 

Errr, that was Tim at Razor's Edge. In fact, this opinion is expressed on the product listing for the 112 on the REM Web site.

Whether the conclusion is correct is another thing, but it is definitely coming from an informed source. Which is what makes it so puzzling.

I would love to see someone get a motor set up with say 14 lbs of boost on the stock Eaton, then switch blowers between the 112, 140, and KB with the same pulleys (or equalizing peak boost), then running on the track (or at least on the dyno) with pump gas. Trap speed tells the story. Doesn't seem that hard to do and would definitively answer the claim that the area under the curve with the 112 is in the same league as the 140 or KB.

It would not be the first time that I have seem someone take a nice, flat torque curve and surmise that it's more "streetable" than another configuration that's peakier, only to compare the two graphs and find that the peakier engine is making more power at any RPM than the one with the flatter curve.
