I have a 3800 series 2 supercharged engine and let me tell you a Roots s/c engine suffers way more heat than any turbo would, especially when the pulley is changed for more boost.
The air is not compressed in the roots s/c itself, air is pumped into the lower intake where it is compressed. Thats right, compressing the air in the lower intake with no intercooler, NONE. Intake temps are super hot(I can get numbers later). The s/c is mounted to the engine directly so any heat generated will transfer from the block to the s/c making things even worse. Any turbo system is going to be cooled and will have lower intake temps. as for the oil I am running?Mobil 1 (I cannot afford Redline or I would use that.
