Most supercharger packages don't have intercoolers.... because they don't generate enough boost to really require one... plus they rob power from the drivetrain... turbos just use wasted exhaust enegry (at the expense of a little back pressure)

I know a guy who goes to midwest motorsports (http://www.midwestmotorsport.com) who swapped out his Dinan powerdyne supercharger for an Active Autoworks unit... he says he went from 300 to 450 hp!?!?!

DINAN is coming out with an intercooled SC just to compete with the newer turbo setups... but Turbo may be the way to go!
