Ok after seeing this chart it is official my blower is to small for my eng for the demands I am asking of it. 1000cfm is not enough. I am for sure over that hp level demand by now easily! The 1500 is the answer for me but would prefer a YSIV-7 at 1600 cam with a big pulley to slow her down some. That would give me boost with low heat and very little drag. The other option is the impellar upgrade taking my 1200@ 1000cfm to 1150cfm only 50cfm away from a 1500 so if I wanted to run the 14psi Max with my
Current setup for only $700 impellar and rebuild kit or save up $2300 for a 1500 blower. I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place and I believe the bearings may have a little play in them to. Decisions :facepalm: any suggestions guys. Only going for 14 psi on this eng no more. The eng will be lacking what a turbo at 14psi could do but hey it's cheaper right now and what I have.

Looks to me the upgrade would be the way to go...

Well I got it figured out! I'm going to send the blower out and have the housing machined to fit a Vortech T trim blade into it. This will make it flow around 1250 cfm air. The vollute is going to be opened up to the same diameter as the 1500 novi. Basically I am getting a vortech t trim blower into a novi 1200 housing opened up to flow more than a 1500 at less RPM. A win win. I am hoping to have to use a way bigger pulley for this combo. All this for under $800 bucks sweet. Beats $3300 on a new blower.
