Pully Ratios

     To obtain the optimum operating effeciency rate for a water pump at street speeds,  it should be overdriven by 30 - 35 percent.  Most aftermarket pullys are a 1:1 ratio.  To achieve 30 - 35 percent overdrive of the pump, the crank pully should be approximately 7 7/8 inches, and the pump pully approximately 5 3/4 inches.
