well my powerdyne put out like 750 cfms at 9lbs. and that was maxing it out. here is a quick supercharger reference for a few blowers and their max cfm output.

vortech s-trim 1000 cfm
vortech t-trim 1200 cfm
vortech ys-trim 1500 cfm....this is the one i use
paxton novi 2000 1700 cfm
procharger d-1 1400 cfm
vortech mondo anywhere from 1600-2500cfms

in theory these will put out more than this but these are ratings at the max impeller speed. spin them any higher and you risk supercharger damage.

In theroy if a supercharger puts out more cfm shouldn't it put out more power?

well the more cfm capability a blower has the higher the horsepower level its gonna support. if you ran a race blower and a street blower at 8lbs both may make the same power. this is with discharge temps aside. but that street blower may be maxed out whereas the race unit can be turned up to seroiusly crank out the boost.
