This was a great, short, project for today. I used a 15 foot roll of 3 inch heat tape for the three pipe header. I divided it into three 5 foot lengths which easily covered the pipes down to just above the collector. Its main purpose is to reduce the heat just below the super charger. The unit is supplied with a cooling section built into the bottom of the manifold. That can be chilled with a radiator and pump which is available, as an option, from VMAXSCART.

Next, I’m going to ‘dry fit’ the super charger, to see how the fuel line, crankcase breather and water hoses will work.
