The heat from the turbine side bleeds over considerably into the compressor side, making attempts to cool the inlet air pretty worthless. So this makes my turbo comparison not as direct as I first thought.

I just got my first SC on the 2016 Camaro and I'm looking forward to learning the differences.
There is less heat transfer from the hot side to the cold side of a turbo than one would think, the center section does a pretty good job of dealing with the heat - plus with the higher efficiency of the turbo compressor you'll end up with a lower outlet temp than the centrifugal.

Looking forward to hear your thoughts on the Camaro SC. I've run everything imaginable and the PD blower for a street/strip car is a really good solution.
