Where is your "supercharger with an intercooler" going to be getting air from?

I had CAI in my Acura CLs previously. However, since you already have the supercharger and intercooler, adding CAI will not improve your current performance.

The problem with putting a cone type filter on a benz is that they already draw in cold air from the outside. Unless you design some type of system to shield the cone from the heat of the engine compartment, you will actually notice a drop in performance.

Am I wrong in thinking that superchargers don't have intercoolers, but turbochargers do ?

Yup Intercoolers just cool the air coming from the charging device. Not many supercharger applications require one since the charged air from a supercharger is significantly colder than from a turbo, but if you are running high boost, or just want to be awesome, you can always throw an intercooler into the mix.

You need an intercooler on a street driven supercharged motor after around 5- 7psi. I have an air to ait intercooler and meth/water injection on my SEC, but then again, I'm running over 10 psi of boost.
