Supercharged coyote

I think it makes more sense for the S/C to be under the I/C since it doesn't really matter how hot the S/C is, it's compressing the air anyway making it stupidly hot! Having the I/C on top makes it more efficient. If the I/C was where the supercharger is then the I/C would be hotter, making the final air charge making it to the engine that much hotter.
 
if they are eaton rotors they are NOT compressing only pushing...so the head unit will generate less heat than a true compressor. I think the vette got that way for packageing not becasue it was the best design...
 
I agree, I think that even though the IC temps are important, the SC temps are too. I understand that if you have cool IC temps thats all that matters but if you have cooler SC temps with cooler IC temps the overall temp goes down.

respectfully, I have to disagree. Remember when the prototype Gen 3 Lightning came out? It has a I/C Cooler, it used A/C fluid to supercool the i/c under the s/c. The result was about 30 seconds or ice cold compressed air going into the engine, before the system had to regenerate. It was good for 50hp (if I recall correctly.)

The SVT Lightning concept was a surprise during Ford's unveiling of the all-new 2004 F-150. Launching a 'Whole New Era of Built Ford Tough,' the new F-150 is an all-new full-size pickup architecture designed for more power, refinement and unprecedented driving dynamics capability. It is the star of Ford Motor Company's biggest-ever wave of new-product introductions at the dawn of its Centennial year. The SVT F-150 Lightning concept features a six-speed manual transmission, independent rear suspension and a 500-horsepower supercharged V-8. It is a powerful combination aimed at extending SVT Lightning's supremacy into the future.

Designer John Coletti's team fit the SVT Lightning concept with an all-aluminium, 5.4-liter DOHC supercharged and intercooled V-8 engine conservatively rated at 500 horsepower and 500 foot pounds of torque. And while they were at it, they invented and patented a speed secret for those times when even that much power just isn't enough. Ford's patented SuperCooler technology cleverly provides a special burst of power for the SVT Lightning concept. Traditional intercoolers dissipate heat from the supercharged air by circulating coolant through a front-mounted, air-cooled radiator. With the SuperCooler system, the vehicle's air conditioning system is used to chill a small storage tank of coolant to about 30 degrees Fahrenheit. On demand, the SuperCooler system switches the intercooler flow from its normal circulation and dumps the chilled coolant into the engine's intercooler. In turn, the intercooler dissipates up to 20 percent more heat from the charge air - resulting in a denser air charge.

The SVT F-150 Lightning concept features an independent rear suspension and SVT's famous attention to every detail of the suspension, steering and braking systems for driving dynamic capabilities that match the sport truck's awesome power. SVT engineers chose to fit an independent rear suspension (IRS) system to the Lightning concept in lieu of F-150's standard Hotchkiss type solid rear axle with leaf springs and outboard shock absorbers. The IRS unit was adapted from the Ford Expedition.
