Default Why no intercooler

Anyone know why the LPE supercharger kit does not include an intercooler? Even the new Mustang uses a water to air intercooler, so the hood clearence problems can't be that bad.

Hood clearance. They revised the new Magnuson intake a few times and had to go larger. No room left.

Any pics of the Mustang intercooler with the Eaton??

You could do Water/Alky injection is about all.
Temps get crazy if you go past 6# on the M112.

New Hot Rod has pictures and road test. I think I've seen several Ford speciality mags on the news stands with some photos too. By the way, the DC V-8 in the AMG version of the SL500 also has an intercooler as part of the installation. :cool:
