Sorry for appearing stupid !!

Forgive me if this is wrong but this is what I think, the supercharger is run of the crank so at 3000 rpm it is only running at half power the faster the crank is running the faster the supercharger is spinning so to get 12 psi the engine would have to be at max torque.
