The big advantages to the Harrop SC Kit over the competition is the intercooler design, and being able to assure IAT’s on hot days is a massive priority for them.
Here is a data log from lap 5 of a 10 lap time attack session, so everything was at its peak temperature. They are running a built motor now, with more boost then the standard pulley, so even more heat.
".....we have an engineer devoted to keeping temps under control be it oil, water, charge air or thermatic soak, so we do consider ourselves well versed."

I see how this is different than the Edelbrock. PD compressor reliability is not an issue... but I don't see enough about how they are handling the heat to convince me this will work at Sebring in the summer.
Maybe these are better questions for those guys so they can share what they really did to test this setup.
Thanks.
