And you can get the same HP with less PSI with an intercooler so with one you can go lower psi or raise the psi for even more power.

I mean no offense, but you should read up on forced induction a bit and rethink this statement...

So you are saying that with an IC I cant run a lower PSI to achieve a certain HP that would require more PSI to achieve the same HP without an intercooler?

you are thinking too much into the way that colder air produces more power due to it being more oxygen rich than hot air. This all true but the air that is compressed from the turbo or SC is HOT. IC just cools the air down. I am not really sure by how many degrees though. So without an IC you risk damaging your engine. the "knocking" effect.

Here is an article that I got this from, as with all things on the internet it doesnt mean its right but who knows, sounds right. And Im coming from a turbo car and I do know more boost means more power till you get to a point of deminishing returns. Dont know if its much different with a SC though.

Intercooled Vs. Non-Intercooled Supercharger
