hi all.....i'm about to fit up a Vortech V2 SI trim blower in place of the powerdyne currently on my 360.
would like advice on what size pully to run on the head unit to acheive 10-12 psi boost at say 6000rpm. crank pulley is 8".

cheers
 
You might want to call Vortech to verify..........How much boost it will create will also depend on how efficient your engine is.

Calculator Link.....

Your Super Charger.......

The charger says max RPM at 22PSI is 52K RPM So a little more than half of that Blower RPM should create 11-12 PSI from what I am understanding. You will be only half way into what the charger is capable of is what it looks like using a 6.5" Pulley which seems HUGE.

I would put this size on it and call it good if it were me.

hi all.....i'm about to fit up a Vortech V1, S-trim blower in place of the powerdyne currently on my 360.

My bottom pulley also is 7" and the top one is just under 3".... dunno the exact size, but I seem to remember it being 2.87".... can that be right?


Anyway, it's a Vortech V-1, s-trim, head unit and makes 10 pounds of boost with these pulleys.

In a 3,300 pound A body, it has the capability to run 11.50s @ about 118 mph in a 3,300-ound car, making 445 RWHP on a chassis dyno.

The motor is a basically stock 360 Magnum with a Hughesperformance 214/218 cam (.050>-lift,) with .525" gross lift and 115-degrees of lobe separation. Comp. ratio: 9:1, Stock, dished pistons. Stock, composition head gaskets. 750 Holley and TTI headers.

Idles at 475 rpm and makes 14 inches of mercury for the power brakes at that rpm.

Here are a couple of photos.

I had to make my own mounting "kit." I didn't want it on top of the motor.

Any other questions, just P=M me.

Hi Lelle!!! Have a Happy Holiday season!!!:profiler:
