    boost

    I have been told that if its a billet rotor it can be turned up to 13000 rpm before it goes flat and makes too much heat. I have an old Littlefield hh billet rotor delta bottom 468 bbc 360 heads it makes 38 psi at 52% and 8000 crank rpm hope it helps Craig

    rotor speed

    dave, that is a bunch of rotor rpm. 9800 x 1.52 is 14900 at the supercharger. oh well, i know that you go fast..
    glad to see people talking about rotor rpm as this is better than getting fixated on boost. i once changed heads and matching manifold on an engine to a better flowing head. lost 4 lbs. boost (42 to 38) and picked up 160 h.p. because the air and fuel was getting to the combustion chamber and not just piling up in the intake. chuck demaree

    testing

    dave, went testing last saturday at dinwiddie (vmp) with my top dragster guys. they will run mostly with d.c. outlaws this year.
    since this is a 6.40 index we were trying to get close.
    how about 6.436, 6.410, and for their "no breakout" final a solid hit of... .952- 2.60- 3.95- 6.11 @ 226. chuck
