To put it easy. The engine consumes about 1600cc of air per revolution. So a blower that pumps 1600cc per rev, will only supply the engines needs, at a drive ratio of 1 to 1. If the blower is driven at twice engine speed it will pump 3200cc per rev, to supply 14 lbs of boost, less this, that, and a bit of the other.
