That calculater is awesome! Makes it super easy to figure out. Thanks. I still have a lot left in my little D1, should work just fine with my new 408 set-up.

I believe the D1 kit comes with a 7.25 crank pulley and 4.5" blower pulley which is suppose to be about 8psi. Can anyone verify that?

If so I'm at 42936rpm and its making about 10psi on a stock LS1 and I've still got another 19000 to go

Not sure about the F body, but the GTO was a 7" crank pulley. I had a custom 8" pulley made by ASP to get my RPM's up on the impeller yet still keep enough belt wrap on the blower pulley to keep belt slip to a minimum.

SDCE uses a 7.25" crank pulley. The ATI 8 rib crank pulley is 7.65"

If you dont have Excel you can't open it.

If you do have excel not sure why it wont open??? I can always email you the calc, but you will need MS Excel or excel reader...
