Front mount air-to-air intercoolers like the one you posted are used to cool the compressed air created by turbos/superchargers. The compressed air gets hot and is more prone to detonation, so the FMIC helps bring temps down to the ambient air temp giving a cooler more dense intake charge.

Depending on your intake, you should be getting near ambient air temperatures on your NA car... no need to cool that
