Re: dumb question

as engine speed increases, the volume of air sucked into the engine per unit time increases, as does the volume of air produced by the blower. they increase at a constant rate so the boost stays constant. in a centrifugal blower (turbocharger, paxton, etc) as the engine speed increases the cfm produced by the blower will increase at an accelerated rate whereas the engine cfm will increase at a constant rate so the boost increases.

if i didn't explain that clearly let me know, i'm pretty tired so i'll fix it tomorrow if need be.
