Re: stupid intercooler question (wsaracen)
After the supercharger -- the SC compresses the air which results in heating it. The inter-coolers cool the air prior to going into the intake. If you put the inter-coolers before the supercharger it would do nothing at all since the air passing through the inter-cooler should be the same approximate temperature as that passing over the fins to do the cooling.:D:D
