[QUOTE="D-Rock, post: 10132122, member: 56952"] Disclaimer - not an engineer. The answer is not in belt speed but load and by load, I do not mean tension - I mean the lateral load created by the belt that creates more boost and more HP. Think of it this way - where is the horsepower directed? At the crank. Where is the lower pulley connected? At the crank. Add to it that all blowers use HP to make HP, you are doubling (in most cases) the speed of the Eaton, thereby increasing the load AND increasing the needed HP to spin the blower faster to make more HP. You can also think of it as a "tire" - tires can and do fail at speed, but they usually fail becuase of load. The stock idlers do not fail because of speed - it is the load that is generated by making more HP and boost. [/QUOTE]
