ok so the guys running a roots style or twin screw blowers, are you running the little reservoir that it comes with or are you running a front mount intercooler (is that possible?)

FMIC (Front Mount Intercooler) is not possible with a twin screw/roots type of blower. You CAN get a larger heat exchanger to help.

You could always add meth to help the air temps.

I'm thinking about adding an additional heat exchanger on my setup, I would put it right where the procharger/turbo guys put their FMIC. I would still keep the one that comes with the kit in front of the condensor/radiator, but then have the water pass thru another one to bring the temps down even more. I would think that the "direct" air contact from the front would help alot?? I'm pushing 10 lbs right now and the intake temps are pulling my timing so much that its ridiculous.....
