Sounds like a bit of engineering either way to me.

Mid-engined cars with rear radiators are notorious for overheating problems. The front mounted radiators fair better.

Most of this poor "record" is pre-electric cooling fan technology though.

A cool-air intake for the supercharger would be the rational/economical solution, don't cha think?

Something like this inlet perhaps?
