Question What is the rpm of my supercharger with?

I have a 4.250 top pulley and a 8 inch bottom. What would my blower speed be at? how do I figure it?

3000 rpm
3500 rpm
5800 rpm


thanks
Rob

Jeeze... Sounds like almost two to one. 5000 rpm is about 9000 rpm blower speed

8 divided by 4.250=
1.882 ratio

3000x1.882=5646RPM
3500 =6587RPM
5800=10915RPM

Thanks for the math,I think Whipple said 15-16k was max, I guess 11000rpm is a good bit below?

so my normal cruz Whipple rpm would be 5600-6500rpm
