More info
Whether you're running stock boost on the supercharged C7 Z06 or an upgraded pulley kit, you're already aware of the performance killing heat this engine puts out. The more dense the intake charge, the more HP your car will make. When dealing with Centrifugal, Roots, or Twin Screw Superchargers, there's always the issue of intake temps as heat is a byproduct of compression. Running the car hard makes a lot of heat that quickly saturates the fluid running through the supercharger trying to keep it cool. Heat results in a loss in power as well as the possibility of damage to the engine. Timing lost due to heat above 140* Intake Air Temp sensor 2 can easily rob even a stock C7 Z06 of 25-50+HP on a heat soaked motor.
One way to help reduce these intake temps and the risk of damage is to add thermal reduction plates to the system which in turn helps to keep conduction from occurring from the cylinder heads to the supercharger and thus making the entire system inefficient by the thermal energy from combustion passing through the cylinder heads to the supercharger and heating up the intercoolers inside of the blower making them less efficient. The plates drastically reduce the heat transfer by keeping the heat in the cylinder heads and off of the supercharger allowing the intercoolers to operate more efficiently, cooling the charged air passing through them.
