On a Paxton SN92 with a 3.25" pulley, what would my blower redline be at?

What RPM would I have to shift at on my tach?
thanks

3.25. Supposedly made 8lbs of boost.

4.5" is on there now and it makes only 4.5 lbs of boost.

Ryan,

Here is the formula in words:

Take your crank pulley diameter (inches) and divide it by the blower pulley diameter (inches). Take the resulting number and multiply it by the blower internal step-up ratio. For a Paxton SN series blower, the ratio is 4.40. Then take this number and multiply it by engine rpm. The result is blower rpm.

You can manipulate this formula in any way to solve for any one unknown. Hope this helps.

Willie

Formula That big pulley will let you rev higher, I am guessing that's why it's on there. I have an extra 3.25 I would trade for a 3.5 if you have one?

OK, for the team I went out and unburried the stock Paxton crank pulley. It seems like it's 6" across to me. I think the SN series redlines at 38000RPM(LMK if I am wrong here).
I show 4700RPM as max with a 38000RPM redline for the blower. This blower redline seems a little low to me, anyone know for sure? One thing I did not figure in is the 10% belt slippage.

I'll buy it off you if it will work on my SN92 88-92. Do you know if it will work?

The belt configuration for the 1985 - 87 kits uses three small v-belts, not one flat belt as you have.

Formula YOU GOT MAIL!!!It's the grooves on the pulley that are not right, not where it fit's the blower on the old Vbelt style. I have the serpentine system not the Vbelt unit, the year of my car does mislead sometimes.

Ryan, no problem, just glad someone could use them. The package is on the way. I shipped it USPS, so I just have a confirmation #, and those #'s dont track right. I would say you need to be home on Saturday to get this, at the latest Monday.

If anyone else has a paxton BLOWER pulley for sale or trade Let Me Know please.
