that is just how it is all of you cooling mods cool after the supercharger the only mod that will cool the actual supercharger down will be spaying meth before the supercharger

wait are u saying ur car was not running for a period of time and u touched it and it was hot?

or are u saying u touched it right after driving?

either way its metal(absorbs heat) and its under the hood of your car. the spindles inside create friction which creates heat, your cooling mods have nothing to do with how your supercharger feels to the touch, there is NO WAY you will be able to make your supercharger cool to the touch after driving it.

Motors run hot. That's what they do. Ever wonder why when you pulley down, you have to add cooling mods? Because everything gets hot.

meth kits. are a mixture of water and methanol. though u can run 100% of either one.

cool EGTs, intake temps, IATs.

and the meth. increase octane in a sense. causing advance timing=more HP.

so ya it does cool down.

they dont reccomend to run 100% meth. thats why u mix. 50/50/ 60/40 or 70/30 of which ever way you want to run it.

Learn physics. Meth is a liquid when its sprayed. It becomes a vapor (gas) after it absorbs heat (aka cools) it surroundings. Be that air or the walls of the inside of the blower. Water does the same thing but without looking it up I believe water has a higher specific heat than meth so it takes more heat to evaporate.

But if if it doesnt become a vapor then it cant burn and it cant make a large improvement on your octane rating. Unless its boiling point is high enough that it wont phase change until it is in the combustion chamber.
