What are your IAT's at the end of a run?

I'll be more specific lol. Aftercooler in the intake plenum. The heat exchanger in front of the radiator is as big as it can possibly be, and the Aftercooler in the intake has no room either.

The spacer you speak of wont work on my application as the supercharger snout is supported by the drivers side cylinder head. By placing the spacer inbetween the top manifold and lower manifold this makes the supercharger sit higher, which then creates alignment issues between the supercharger support bracket and cylinder head. again, if I didn't have that problem that'd be number one on my list.

Jake, yes and no. I'm not refrigerating the air. I'm saying add refrigerant to the water since an ice box is out of the question. But, talking about trapping the cool, how much space would be required for an evaporator and a DRY ICE setup.
I might have enough room to wedge in a block of dry ice on the left hand side by moving the reservoir around. I really dont want to screw with the actual A/C unit.

Hey Robbie, could you throw a picture on here showing that bracket for the snout support? Just curious if anything might be able to be done there or not. Let us help you brainstorm a little bit, maybe we'll have an idea that you didn't think about.

Is there anywhere else that may become a clearance issue?

Well I'll know here soon. Sorry for not multi-quoting. I expect about 160 starting at 110 or so, and that'll be with spraying nitrous on the heat exchanger behind the grille.

You can see it right from there, how it slides over the snout and bolts to the cylinder head. Tensioner also sits right next to the supercharger pulley.

Is there a machine shop near you with a CNC machine? It looks like you could replicate that bracket, but make it taller, to accomodate a spacer. From the pics, it looks like that bracket is just a flat piece of aluminum, probably billet?

I'm with Roger, that bracket looks like it would be easy to make.

It is hard to tell, but can you inject water/meth anywhere under the intercooler? I think the roots style water/meth injections are not working well because the rotors heat everything up.

I wonder what that intercooler looks like, can you find pics of one?

On a side note, how are you able to get that much air through an LS7 throttle body? Mine won't handle the radix 112 with a 2.6 pulley. It looks like you will be moving a lot mote air than that.
