Supercharger - Question.

Hi all,

A technical question about a supercharged engine. Normally the power available increases up to full throttle height while mainting sea level boost pressure. But how come the pwr. available actually increases? Is it because of the reduced back pressure on the gas leaving the engine or are there any other reasons why power increases?

TIA
