Works 140 Dyno Numbers

Just back in from the dyno and did some tinkering with my newly installed Works140. Had a selection of files from PSP to try and find one that worked well with my combo... The graph shows two of the different programs, one with a little less timing...

All I can say is this thing is SICK, the power is unreal...

Running 8lb lower with 3" upper making about 17-18psi on the dyno.. Makes more like 20psi on the street... NO NITROUS on this pull..



I used STD correction since that seems to be the trend on here. The SAE numbers were a little lower than these (of course)..

Driving on the street with this much power is absolutely insane.. Can spin the tires and nearly any speed I want....

Going to the track tommorrow to see if I can get this pig into the 10's. If it doesnt go, I guess I'll just have to throw some nitrous its way Wish me luck!



-Dale

3" upper?

doesn't that take away about a pound of boost from the stock 2.93"?

Anyways:
those numbers are INSANE. How can you not get into the 10's?
unless they chain the axle to an oak tree or somthing when you are staging, and then even with that, you'll run 11's draggin a big oak tree behind you

Sweet power Dale and GOOD LUCK putting that power down. Iam in the market for an aftermarket blower and was leaning towards the Works. But am I mistaken, but arn't the KB'S putting down a higher and fatter torque curve. Please don't take this as a put down, as I think the Works is a FAR more better looking replacement for the Eaton. Just getting my ducks in a row, so to speak

god look at how that torque is RIGHT there from the start!! yeesh. too bad it drops off with such a slope though! I have heard the KB torque curve doesn't drop as much as that though, but those are really AMAZING numbers...and all with ~17 lbs of boost!! some guys are putting about 16 out with their eatons and are not even close to those numbers! what other mods do you have? did you ever get a dyno with the combo you had to run that 11.0x? I'm assuming that was with NX?

Thanks everyone..

The torque thing I think is a misconception.

If you look at the available graphs of the big HP KB trucks (Don, Vinnie, HD, etc.) the torque graph is condensed vertically. IE: y axis on HP graph goes from 400 to 700hp and is 6" tall, bu y axis on torque graph goes from 0 to 1000 ft/lbs and is only 2" tall so it appears the torque is carrying very well, when in reality it is dropping at the same rate as any other truck..

The graph doesnt show over 700ft/lbs peak because the pull was started WELL after the torque curve... I dont have a program that will allow me to get low rpm torque figures so I had to start the pull at 65/70mph.. To do an accurate comparison you would have to look at the other graphs not from their peak numbers but at the same RPM..

Dale,

That is exactly how I feel.
Sounds like you truck is running strong. Can't wait to hear your results from the track. Go get that 10sec timeslip. If you spray it, that thing is gonna fly!!!! I hope to be right up there with you guys in a few weeks though. Everyone look out. I have a couple suprises(I think). Best of luck at the track tomorrow. -Mat-

Here, made a couple pics to illustrate my point above..

Here is a dyno graph of Don's Bolt that I found... See how the torque graph is condensed?

If you stretch it out and use the same scale and then overlay it onto mine, it looks like this:

Here is my Dyno run. 3 inch upper and 8# lower (exactly the same as what you were running).

Of course I have no head work though.

I ran a 10.76 w/ this and a 10.99 spinning.

So you should easily run a 10. Good luck tomorrow.

Congratulations Dale - those are some awesome #'s. I have a couple of questions for you;

1. Have you upgraded your fuel rails / fuel lines???
2. What octane???

Thx,

Dave

Im always hearing of these Works S/C and I would like to know more about them. Is there a website for the Works I can go to?
