Thanks rbargeron, your reply and especially your linked post was quite helpful. I think I am going to up my target velocity a bit and try for at least 4000, maybe 4200ft/min. This would put my impeller rpm around 1000, 1200. If my mod works I think the unit can handle the increased rpm's.
My buddy's coming by tomorrow and I am anxious for his input. He was my equipment fabrication instructor in college thirty + years ago so I value his opinion. If he steers my to hydraulics I'm likely to have to ask a bunch more questions. Not only do I need to increase speed I need to reverse direction and this is a challenge mechanically (on a budget!) which is why hydraulic may be easier.
Will keep you posted.
