The production 140s are just starting to ship now. The delay was because Works redesigned the intake casting to include an integral bypass. These blowers are not mass produced, they are hand built units with very difficult to cast and machine intakes, so it takes time to make them a few at a time. As for numbers, do a search for Calightning and you will find info on the progress of the prototype 140s during testing. His truck made 511 rwhp with 16 psi on a stock motor, and almost 600 rwhp with just a 2lb lower pulley and 3" upper pulley on his built motor. These tests were early in the 140 testing, but show the power potential of the Works 140. My own truck is also an example, as I went from 102 mph in the 1/8 with the Works 112 and spray, to over 110 mph in the 1/8 with the Works 140, the same shot spray, and the same pulley sizes. I'm sure you'll start seeing Works 140 numbers soon.

The guys I know that have them are all trying to push high boost and are dealing with the other issues that go with that. I note the guys who are pushing very high boost with the KB (JL for example) for the most part have been quiet probably for the same reason.
I know for myself the last few months dealing with the issues outside the blower have been very slow, and difficult because it's all virgin territory.
In addition:
Everything that should take one week takes four or more.
Doing it ... is one thing, doing it properly is another.
Id like my truck to run fast safely and NOT on the ragged edge. I think for the most part up to this point the really fast guys have been pushing the limits everytime they are out. There have been a lot of broken motors over the past 3 years in that top ten group.
Do you know which Modmax, Comp or Crower cam works best with KB blower with 25#'s of boost? Well I don't either, but some guys are swamping them in and out to find out. I think this is the sort of thing that is going on.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe I saw something that said based on the design..."or something" that the works and kb weren't really meant to compete. You can't really compare the two because of the design or...um, i will just go back to my beer now.
This is just something I remember seeing, I may be wrong.

That is not true. The KB and the Works 140 are both twin screws and comparable.
The Works 112 (roots) and the KB and Works 140 (twin screws) are not.

And for the price comparison... Well, i guess the Works could be more competitive if they also required you to use your stock intake rather than supply you with a rear inlet one to make it a true 140....
