Thanks for the post!
Well, the Flywheel is 10" in diameter and the OEM motor Pulley has an O.D. of 1.95".
The original motor has an RPM of 3,450 so that would put the Pump RPM at roughly 672 to 690.
You could certainly increase the pulley diameter a bit to say, a maximum of 2.75" to get a faster RPM at the pump (about 950 with a 2.75" motor pulley).
But, the faster the pump RPM, the more wear you'll see and longevity suffers.
Hope this helps!
