Default FasterProms thermal plates

Getting ready to through a second round of mods to my '19 7M, 2LZ Z. First round included: upgraded to level 3 aero in the front, level2 aero in the back, some ACS pieces for the front wheel wells to reduce road rash; BMS filter, Mamo PTB, upgraded to Z06 embossed better quality center console lid.

In prepping for round 2, I am interested in the opinions of those folks who installed the FasterProms thermal "plates" which are supposed to keep the supercharger housing cooler. Is this a legit mod worth doing? I live in North Central Florida, so especially curious about this. Also, would love to have a fan kit where I can manually control the fans without disturbing the stock tune. I had this on my modded C6 Z06 and loved it. Is there a kit out there for these cars?

So the rest of my round 2 Mods include: installation of new lightweight, track spec forged wheels I obtained in a private deal (gets rid of my bent wheels and saves 29 lbs unsprung rotational weight), Akro full length Ti exhaust (better sound, a little more power and another 30 lbs off), flushing the diff, Katech 174 degree thermos, possibly an Antigrav series 40 battery, another 22 lbs off.

TIA for your responses.

I have had them on my Corvette since. 2016 with the blower coolant expansion tank they work well,I also put a set on my Dodge demon it lowered the blower temps on that car also.

I thought the consensus was they don’t do anything for IAT and were like snake oil. If someone has good a/b test data though please show it.
