Increase volumetric efficiency allowing for more air to flow into the s/c. Thereby having more air in the system, more air in the system increases pressure because of the restriction, which is measured in lbs of boost. And, on an increasing scale, as the pressure builds, the higher RPM's will have more boost. So, you have more boost with the same pulley equally more HP.



I tried sounding smart.... Someone smarter than me will chime in soon, i'm sure.
