Yea, the snout does generate SOME heat, but not nearly as much as the rotors themselves.

And looking at our roots blower..........the snout isn't even CONNECTED to the LIM................so any heat produced at the snout has to go through the case of the blower to get to the LIM, etc, etc....heatsoak. Why try to put a fire out with a water bottle, when I can put it out with a bucket of water?
Your logic is way off dude. The heat from the supercharger has nothing to do with "the rotors spinning 1mm from each other". I mean "really"? Heat in a supercharger comes from compressing the air (in a supercharger it's called "adiabatic efficiancy"), heat transfer from the engines combustion, and from the friction in the front gear drive. That transfers to the rest of the case which is why we typically see higher temps by the front drive than at the TB side of the case. Again, a lot of conjecture here without looking at what is actually happening or even understanding how things work. And yet people pass themselves off as "experts" lol.

Has anyone watched the videos on Youtube? I think they explain how it works and show the temp differences. And that car is equipped with a "killer chiller" which was'nt even in use for the vid. When the KC was used in conjuction with the VC on the SC equipped with a SB the case was actually COLD to the touch after some spirited driving.
