Whipple?
#1
Whats the fastest you want to spin a twin screw supercharger? Is 22,000 RPMS to much
I'm fabing up the intercooler and was thinking about cranking the boost up to about 15-16 PSI. I will post some pictures as soon as the peices are done at the machine shop.

I have a 3" on the blower and 7.5 crank pulley plus I turn the motor to 6500 rpms so that = 16250 rpms
crank pulley/blower pulley * your max rpms of the motor = your blower speed.
I was thinkin about getting a 2.25" maybe 2" blower pulley made and that should get me in the 15 psi range
I know SVT mustangs with the whipples blowers turn past 20,000 rpms!

If you are willing to experiment, I am willing to listen
I totally think you should go for it. So few are really willing to see how far it will go.
I would definatley be spraying quite a bit of meth and have a good intercooler.

I fiqure if you keep the oil changed in the blower it will probably be fine. It's not like it's going to see that many rpm's every second the truck is running anyway.

A 2" blower pulley and shifting the motor at 6000 rpms will be spining the blower to 22500 rpms
and it should be makin around 15-16 psi after the intercooler.

The peice I'm getting made will be one piece(pulley and hub) unlike the one from whipple where it has 4 allen bolts holding the pulley to the hub. I just hope I can get enough tension on the belt to keep it from slipping.
