I'd buy a 112 for 2 grand right now. But I bet that price will go up within 6 days.

Why would you compare a Works M112 to a KB?

Why would someone buy a works 112 blower to run 5-6 times on a dyno?

For three grand, I expect a sh*t in the pants difference.

promod, what other mods did he have?

I certainly feel a difference. In anticipation for the "new combo" Ive been running around with the stock blower with an 8# lower pulley and it is MUCH slower without the 112...

At the track, I am 5mph off my best trap speed, thats a hell of a difference if you ask me...

I talked to these guys about this blower.

It belongs to Sean Hyland Motorsports. They used it for dyno testing on a customers engine and he could not afford it so it was yanked off.

Its been used for 6-dyno pulls.

They did not use a boost gauge and have no idea what boost it made.

They do not know what pullies coem with it or in fact which one is on it.

They do not have any mounting bolts.

No gaskets,

No Warranty

This is a bad way to buy a blower and take it in the shorts if its a POS!

Steer clear.....buy one from Kenne Bell or a 'NEW" Works!

Just thought you should know...brother to brother!

Yeah, I e-mailed them two days ago and have not received a reply. The only bidder cancelled his bid this a.m. (said he bid the wrong price). With no warranty their price better be right at $2K then and I'm still not sure it's worth the risk.

I posted that the other day because I thought someone might get a good deal. I didn't know that it was so incomplete. Props to Mustangbadboy for doing some research.
