A supercharger increases the intake by compressing air above atmospheric pressure, without creating a vacuum. This forces more air into the engine, providing a boost. With the additional air in the boost, more fuel can be added to the charge, and the power of the engine is increased. Supercharging an engine adds an average of 46% more horsepower and 31% more torque.
