I just went out and sipping a beer had an idea on increasing airflow, supercharger or not. More airflow is good no matter what you are running.
The 2nd battery tray is blocking air flow. The radiator overflow blocked some before the tray was there. I do notice it being hotter in the engine bay.
So, here is what I am thinking:
1) Move the Radiator overflow to the drivers side in front of the primary battery. Lots of room to do this.
2) Trim the battery tray so that it is only 7" from the fender to the end. Still need to figure the best way to do this and provide the protection of the tray.
3) Turn the battery 90 deg up against the Fender. Build a mount to hold it in place.
This will open up a clear path of 4 inches across for airflow from the fender well to the hood around the pass side of the radiator. I think this is more than before the 2nd tray was installed due to the overflow bottle. In fact, the 2nd battery now won't be blocking any additional airflow based on the airfilter being next in line. The new location of the overflow won't be block any additional flow due to the primary battery tray. I have a Yellow Top in the Primary tray and there is lots of room there.
Again, this for any application, stock engine, TRD or Supercharger.
I also think wrapping the exhaust is a good idea.
Thoughts?
