If the power to the motor increases with higher speed; and if the surface feet per minute with the smaller pulley is approximately 60% of the larger pulley; to achieve the same surface feet per minute would require a higher motor speed, and, thus, more power. I would translate that into more torque.
Thoughts?
Ken
My guess is that the torque is more than doubled.
