just my mechanickle curiorASSity......
The 5.7L Hemi makes its 410 lb-ft. peak torque at 4,800RPM; the Hellcat makes 411 kb-ft at 1,200RPM. 90% of the engine parts are new in the Hellcat. The 2.4L IHI supercharger runs 14,600 RPM at just over 11PSI.

As the air / fuel mixture is sucked in, the super changer compresses the mixture to 11 psi before it "jams" it into the cylinder.

Here is a .gif of the compressor vanes. These are made to extremely tight tolerances
