Remember that horsepower is work over time. The more airflow you have (cfm, lbs/min, etc.), the more power you make provided you have enough fuel.
Boost pressure is the measure of restriction to airflow, which is why it is practically meaningless when trying to determine horsepower. Lbs/min and cfm are what matters...again, because you are relating a time based unit to a time based unit (airflow to horsepower).
Back on topic, Phunk nailed it.
