Have that nice a day

for TV; I saw about 60F rise for 3.3 psi
Typical Vortech type Supercharger with an ambient inlet temp of 80 degrees will raise the temp to 125-130 degrees at 7 psi of boost pressure. The bearings and gears in the Vortech supercharger are also cooled by engine oil. So about 45 degrees rise for that unit with a 71% efficient Compressor Wheel.

A unit with a less efficient wheel will have a higher temperature rise.
What wheel did you use?
