Default Question about the supercharger and integrated intercooler setups

I have seen several top mount roots type superchargers with the manifold that also works as a cooler. Edelbrock's new Camaro unit is that way. Do they run off the motor's cooling system or is there a separate pump and reservoir ?

They usually have their own cooling system. That's the only way they could stay even halfway efficient.

agreed, they have their own heat exchanger that hangs infront of the radiator/condensor.....

What got me wondering was watching a partial install on a car show. They modified the heater hoses, but I didn't see a reservoir or pump go on. I did find the Edelbrock install pdf last night and you guys are right. There is a reservoir, pump, and a heat exchanger installed in front of the radiator.
