By increasing the pressure of the intake charge, you push more air into the cylinder. More air, when mixed with more fuel, makes for a stronger combustion burn. The stronger burn pushes harder on the piston, which pushes harder on the crankshaft, which creates more torque/hp. This article will only address mechanically-driven blowers or superchargers. Turbochargers will be covered later in another article, probably by someone else, because although I know they work very well, I just can't get wrapped around the maps used to size them. Maybe later..... | By increasing the pressure of the intake charge, you push more air into the cylinder. More air, when mixed with more fuel, makes for a stronger combustion burn.

Of course, most of the blowers bought today are purpose-built aftermarket units that have the proper clearancing and strengthening mods built in. Some manufacturers use teflon strips on the rotors to tighten up the rotor/case clearance and increase the efficiency of the unit. | Of course, most of the blowers bought today are purpose-built aftermarket units that have the proper clearancing and strengthening mods built in.
