I have an old Paxton Novi 1000 and I want an idea of how much boost I can get before I eat the bearings?

I'm running about 11lbs with my 2-belt setup.

8" crank pulley and 3.25" blower pulley.

No $hit? I have mine pullied up and with a tensioned single belt system I make 12lb's max....I also have an Anderson Power Pipe. It depends on heads and exhaust too.

The best help I can give you is to go to superchargerhelp.com and they can give you the correct pulley sizes. I only had 10# with my old set up (stock sc pulley/F-150 crank pulley/and power pipe) so I am not sure of the pulley sizes

Stock 3.5" blower pulley and the 8" crank pulley with a powerpipe should give you around 9-10lbs.

also depending on where you live and the height above sea level. that will greatly affect the amount of boost you have. and the type of heads you have. The more free breathing the less boost you will have
