I'm sure there is still some air in the system, but considering the reservoir almost ran dry multiple times, I have to believe that this will be much better. I'm surprised it was this bad considering how many times I purged the system and topped off the fill plugs. Then again, I have custom coolant lines. By the temperature of the hoses, this setup seems to be circulating coolant much better.
Looks slick! Does the top of this bottle sit above the plane of the top of the supercharger? Wouldn't you want that since air would collect at the highest cavity in the system? I thought about replacing the fill plugs with fittings that then connected to a reservoir up near the battery.
