Works fine for the ZR1I bet that blower stays nice and toasty nestled down there between the heads with the IC sitting on top of it :facepalm:

I am sure it does work fine......but it could work better. You will never be able to cool the blower at the track, it will always be heat soaked.

the objective isn't to cool the blower, but cool the air charge going into the intake.
Who cares how hot the blower gets, thats what intercoolers are for. You copuld mount that thing 5 inches out of the valley and itd still get hot once underhood temps got up there.I am sure it does work fine......but it could work better.

You want to keep the IC cooler than the blower as air passes thru it last.I know that. My point is the IC stays very warm, so with it sitting on top of the blower would only keep the blower warm instead of being able to cool it off when you pop the hood.

Intercoolers can only so effective. If the air enters the IC at 100* instead of 150* it will be cooler once it enters the combustion chamber. Keeping the blower case as cool as possible DOES matter.
I know with the hood closed the underhood temps are all the same. I am talking about at the track where you have a chance to cool down before making a run. With that blower in the valley it will never cool down.

why would you want to sandwich the cooling portion between the hot engine and the compressor which heats the air anyway? Air won't get as hot from a warm blower rotor as it will pumping tru a hot IC core
was I the only one thinking the car from Hardcastle and Mccormick
X2.
I would venture to guess the 335 Is Cubic Inch Displacement.
Did some digging.Just as I speculated.
Ford Australia announced Thursday that the Ford Performance Vehicles Falcon GT and GS lines will be receiving two different supercharged versions of the 5.0L V8 found in the 2011 Ford Mustang GT; with the new engines bearing the Boss name.
