Bigger, Better Radiator
 
Alright, I've been thinking about not having an aftercooler and feeling in general how hot my engine bay is, and let me tell you it's HOT with the supercharger after a long run.

So with that being said, will getting a better radiator offset any of that at all, I know it's not an aftercooler but just cooling the engine down...I don't have a real temp gauge, just the stocker, it stays in normal (1/2 mark) when warmed up, and after a hot run.

I've also thought about getting a TII hood, and making a duct direct the air flow at the supercharger it self, as it seems to be the hot spot of the day.

When did you get a SC bud?

No a RAD will have nothing to do with this. IT will only increase your cooling system capasity.

Had one for the past month or two...

Yes, I was hoping I could prevent or stall out having to get an aftercooler any time soon, but looks are deceiving...
