Question How to calculate the blower speed

What is the formula to calculate the blower speed taking into account the engine RPM and pulley sizes.

I believe the stock lower is 7.5", upper is 2.93" and the blower speed at 5400 RPM is 13,500

I wish to calculate blower speed based on different pulley combinations.

Thanks,
Dion

A fellow LOOM member, RedComet, came up with this spreadsheet to calculate blower speed, psi.

Lower pulley divided by upper pulley times RPMs.

There is a bit of variance from tuner to tuner as to the exact diamter of the pulley where the belt contacts the pulley as well as OD.

I'd love to get a list of all the tuners pulleys with the OD, ID, and Lip sizes...

Andy W created that spreadsheet a couple years ago.
Corey from Loom mentions that the spreadsheet was originally on My site. Not sure why he decided to rehost the file but oh well..
