Default What rpm is my Vortech V-9 spinning?

Does anyone know how fast my V-9 is spinning with a 3.125 pulley @ 5800-6000rpm? I'm thinking about going to a 2.9 pulley but don't want to go much over 65000rpm?

Rated max on the V-9 is 52,000rpm. Right now at 6000rpm you are spinning it to 51,874rpm with your current pulley. If you go to a 2.9" pulley you will be spinning it to 55,899 at 6000rpm. OK for a centri since you don't generally stay at that rpm too long.
