I switched to longtubes and the only problem I have is heat on the starter
I had to wrap the starter and I wrapped the headers.

Well, superchargers hate backpressure more then anything.

Consider this, you are pumping a very large volume of air into the engine via the supercharger. When that large amount of air becomes superheated, the volume of that air is considerably increased.
