Default Sanity Check

I want to figure out my Blower belt drive ratio on the Radix.

Motor has 7.5" Crank pulley, 3.1" Blower Pulley

I divide 7.5/3.1 = 2.42 ratio

does that sound correct?

So If you turn your engine to 6000 RPMS that means your blower is turning 14520 RPMS.

Back before I bought my turbos when I was going to intercool my whipple I was going to put a 2.5" pulley on the blower and I was going to get a 8" crank pulley made. If I turned my motor to 6000 RPMS that would have made my whipple turning 19200 RPMS

Cool

7.5/2.75 = 2.73

6000 * 2.73 = 16380
