    Max Impeller Speed

    What is the max impeller speed for the Novi 1000? I have heard 55,000 and 45,000....Paxton's web site don't say either.

    Ian says 55,000.
    89 Coupe with parts stacked inside of it and about 30#'s of dust on it with no end in sight. :weird:





    Although I am collecting parts for a 12.5:1 393 :D

    I wonder where he got that number from, because I can't find it anywhere?

    Being too lazy to figure this out myself... What's the impeller speed of a single belt 1K with a 2.75 pulley and an F-150 crank? Any takers on that one?

    Here ya go :D

    8" Crank/2.75 @ 6200 RPM ~63849 Impellar Speed
    7.5" @ 6200 ~ 59858
    7" @ 6200 ~ 55867
    6.5 Crank (F-150) @ 6200 ~ 51877

    Crank Dia./Blower Dia. x RPM x Blower Ratio (3.54:1) = Impeller Speed

    Just wondering what kind of boost could you expect to see with the 6.5" crank and 2.75" blower pulley?

    That's kind of a trick question. Boost is dependant on restriction, altitude and temperature. Every engine and setup is going to be different. All mumbo-jumbo aside, I've heard 9-11 lbs with those pulleys. I'm hoping for 8-9 lbs on mine once spring comes and the snow goes. Not too worried about mine because I'm running 8.7:1 compression.

    ..man you're the real sh-sh-Shell Answer Man 5150! I guess I keep my F-150 pulley and go with a 2.7.

    So based on the "gospel of Ian," then riddle me this, Jokers:

    I surmise that the safest bet and the hottest ticket on a Novi 1000 is an F-150 with a 2.75.

    im at sea level at about 75 degrees and i saw 8.5-9 when i did a burnout near redline when i finally got it running. (wih the f 15- and 2/75 but cant get belt slip under control. not neccacarily from the 2/75 pulley! its more ont he alternator. paxtons tensioning device has got to be the most poorly designed pissa crap ever. i just cant get it tight, theres no clearance for a wrench!!!! the valvecovers brackets and blower housing are all int he way and the studs keep breaking. anyway, i dont have a powerpipe, so all u guys should expect maybe 9 pounds on a well breathing motor such as mine and maybe 11 on a stock motor
