Blowers with cog belts on the back
#3
That means it is designed to endure a 4 HP load. It is capable of turning something that takes 4 horsepower to turn, for a period of time that would give reasonable belt life. It does not mean that it would snap if you put 5 HP of drag on it, just that it would have a life span that the belt manufacturer would not want associated with their reputation.
That is why I would like to know what size belts are on these blowers, because of the supposed 50 to 80 horsepower it takes to turn one.

magnuson themselves say a 1900 could take up to 100 hp to drive at 18 psi check out the tables here https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-in...ance-maps.html with that said all superchargers require a good amount of horsepower to spin them at higher boost levels. you may have to go elsewhere besides grainger. common applications for a 1" wide belt in industry would not demand the transfer of power we are looking at. id go straight to gates if i were you as im sure they have backed belts to hold this kind of power and not shred.

A Top Fuel engine takes 800hp to turn its 14-71 blower, so Ive heard.
