Default supercharger causing hot temps

I installed a powerdyne s/c with a be cool radiator and have 2 12inch fans yet the temps still climb when not moving in 4th gear plus. Changed my thermostat to a 160 and re-bled my system to get all air out and its still hot. If I pull the supercharger off it runs cool as a cucumber... HELP

I went through hell trying to fix mine and ended up doing a air to water set up and now run just as cool as when I was NA

Great for reducing down force, extremely small to no effect on cooling.

My temps may have dropped 2-3 degrees after doing ZL1 vent. Have not made it to another mile event after doing it, but the front end does seem a little more stable at high speed (not that it was unstable to begin with). If I had it to do over, I wouldn't have bothered.
