So..anyone have a good price on this...

 

The Works Power MP112 retails for $3500 from any of the current three Works distributors.

 

Sal, I'm curious to know why this blower is priced so high when the similar (or even better) performing Kenne Bell will be going for around $2899 to $2999. $500 to $600 bucks more is a lot to stomach, especially having to come up w/ 3k as it is. I'm not being rude, so please do not think of it like that. Just a curious "?".

 

After reading the article about the Frdige and the stock vs. Bell....soon to be known as The Bell Ringer....Where does the Works blower stand in comparison? Does Eaton make the MP112.
If so can a guy get any type of core exchange for his stock blower? Do you see the price of the works blower coming down with the Bell Ringer coming out? I have somewhat of a limited budget unlike some of these Moguls runnin' round here.

Sal, I value your judgement and wonder what your impression of the numbers in the article. Seem realistic? What's you opinion of running 500 HP on the stock bottom end...I know...they should be beefed up. But at one point I thought talk of 600 HP being the limit on the stock bottom end...Also Greg said something I think about there being a factor associated with the trann....a dumb example would be..say each 1 HP increase at the flywheel is 1.5 or so at the input shaft....or in the tranny......

 

The main cost of the Works 112 kit comes from the engineering and cost of the intake, which is the most important part. The KB kit can be cheaper since you reuse your stock upper intake. So you're really just paying for a blower and adapter plate. There is no doubt the KB is a much more powerfull unit. The Works 112 project was started way before there was ever mention of a KB for the Gen 2. It is not designed to compete with the KB. The Works 112 blower is a good choice for those who want more power, but don't want to beef up thier lower end. The price MAY drop in the future, but there's no gaurantee of that, and I'm not aware of it being planned as of right now.

The Works 140 kit IS designed with a more powerful truck in mind. It will require a built bottom end if you plan to run lots of boost. The Works 140 kit will easily dominate the KB kit. The Works 140 kit uses a 2300cc rear inlet Whipple screwcharger, vs. the Kenne Bell 2000cc top inlet. The Whipple is way more efficient, as axial screw chargers are designed to ingest air at the rear of the rotors, not from the top. Once again, here is the importance of the new intake provided with the Works kit, and why it will cost more.

The Works 140 kit is about 2-3 months away from production, but we have a few prototype kits on some test trucks. The Works 140 made 20 psi on a customers truck with only a 2 lb lower pulley . It is easily capable of 28-30 psi, and at high boost is where the rear inlet screwcharger really shines.

Jeff, I read that article just like everyone else, and I was easily impressed with the power, just like everyone else. But there aren't many even comparision in that article vs the stock Eaton. The only one I found was testing the KB vs the stock Eaton, each at 9 psi (the only test at equal psi). At that level, I think the KB made 16 more hp than the Eaton. I also found out some behind the scenes info about that test, and found out the truck was run on 110 octane for the test, and that the owner of the truck took the KB off 3 days later and put the stock Eaton back on, because the KB detonated horribly on pump gas. I'm sure it could have been tuned, but that didn't happen on this truck.

 

Sal is works going to come out with that 201 blower you mentioned? I want that one.

 

Thanks once again for the insight Sal........

Have the Denso's come in yet?

 

You better get some rods first

I'll bet that the KB didn't have a bypass valve. That's a big deal. You will have to add one for part throttle heat build up.

 

Sal, I thought there was only 1 dist. and the rest would be dealers.
is that correct or am I wrong.

 

There are currently three places authorized by Works to sell their blowers:

Power Surge Performance

Razors Edge Motorsports

Total Performance Solutions

Works Power blower kits can be purchased through any of the three.

 

The KB runs fine on pump gas. It could've been the tune. Any blower that you crank to 20psi has to have a real conservative tune for 91-93 octane gas.

 

ok so the question was , I thought there was only 1 distributor and the rest were dealers. are you the main distributor for the product or a dealer ? I guess my question is you buy straight from the manufacturer right ?

 

Walker, I know that you are purposely trying to make certain information about the Works network public knowledge, when it's none of anyone's buisness, it is between the dealers and Works themselves.

All you need to know is where to buy one.

This kind of activity is not welcomed.

 

And besides, if the price is the same from all three, WTF difference does it make who's who? except to a shirt-disturber.
