What is the max CFM that the SC can blow?

Numbers are from my mathematical model which I've been developing/tuning since I first joined the SLK32 clan last June2012.
For fuel - I've based it upon AFR=12
Inlet volume is based up on 90% Volumetric Efficiency (constant irrespective of cfm at this stage) x engine capacity per rev of 3.6L (includes null space at 9:1 CR) x 6000rpm c x temp and pressure - normalised back to atmospheric temp and pressure.
max CFM for SC....There's a little black magic here which I havent quite disected.
I think I've determined we run the IHI 1600 jobbie as opposed to the 2300 one used in the V8's.
I believe 1600 relates to 1600cc per rev. so at 15,000rpm for a 62/155 setup = 9.6m3/min x 35cfm/m3 = 850cfm. so its trying to pump 850 cfm into a motor which is only taking 600 or so = pressure buildup.
The pressure buildup places a back pressure on the SC and hence it doesnt actually deliver the 850 - but it does pressurise the air.
The efficiency/burn at which it can do this tails off from the sweet spot which is about OEM spec of 12500rpm and you start simply generating heat instead of volume.
