The issue with finding info on this particular setup, which is why I asked for the info, is that Paxton doesn't make kits for the Fbody cars, meaning it was a custom job. You'd have to contact Paxton, and see if they can give you info from the numbers you found:
Paxton
unless somebody else know the all the Paxtons by heart
That's all the help I can offer. Sorry.
As for the temps and intercooling. it kinda all depends on how much boost you're running. when/if you contact Paxton, they should be able to tell you how much boost you'd be running with a stock pulley for that unit.
And if the car hasn't had any problems up to this point (how old is the supercharger/car), then there shouldn't be any reason to add components. Though any intercooler will usually help....

i found an old paxton brosure showing a kit for bolth A 1994-95 lt1 camaro part #1101102 product code 1 and a list price of 4,500 and a kit for a pontiac1993-96 small block,LT1 witha a part# of 1200606 product code 1 and a list price of 4,495.00 so thay did make kits they just dont any more wen my dad got this kit i think it was in 2002 the shop he got it from said that they wernt going to sell the paxton kits any more and that thay were switching to some other brand im guessing this is do to paxton no longer making the kit i allso for the paxton supercharger service manual witch states that the sn93 charger puts out 5-8lbs of boost and 850 CFM. and it looks like with an upgraded impeller it puts out 9-12 lbs with 1300cfm. so thats somthing also some where in this manual it has info on cleaning your water injection but i didnt see any extra lines coming from the window washer fluid bottle. any way thanks for your help and any ferther info, Brian.
