Default Air condition what RPM? Boost WITH A/C!

As many of you know alot of manifolds for the street are not a/c compatible unless you pay extra. I designed and built my prototype for a custom bracket that holds my factory air condition compressor. Its designed to be driven by an electric motor. Im trying to decide what rpm this thing is supposed to be turning at...(Ballpark) so I can select a electric motor size.

All flames welcome

Why would you do this? You just want your car to be supper fast with the AC on? When I had AC I just set it to turn off at 90% throttle with the AEM EMS.
I do think this is a really stupid idea, the reason people ditch the AC is because its in the way of the DP and/or the added weight. When powered off it consumes an extremely small amount of power. A few people including myself have made 600+HP with the AC in tact and fully functional.

Id be MUCH more interested in an electric power steering pump setup.

There are manifold / DP combos that allow you to run AC .... I have AC on my LS-T with a BLOX mani. No electric motor needed ...

I guess you could put a mark on the AC pulley and use a timing light to see the RPMs when running .... ???
