12 years running inter coolers with out a single failure.It makes no sense not to cool the intake charge. For every degree cooled you could see a gain of 1 HP + or - a few percent depending on the cooler you run.
Dustin can help with this project.

Don't understand ? Is the sillest thing to think not to intercool
or to actually intercool or not intercool that is the Question ?
Anyway I am thinking of ordering intercoolers with superchargers , unless they are not needed to make
1000 HP.

I am not sure why you are even asking about this? Run the intercooler!!!!! I did have one leak years ago. It made the oil milky and we replaced the cooler and changed the oil. No big deal. Detonation is a serious issue on blower enignes under the constant load of a boat. You must have a intercooler period. Cars can get away without as they seldom are under load for more than a few seconds.

Motors can certainly be built without IC's, they need lower compression, and or less timing, richer air fuels, etc. so no, you don't have to, but it's great HP for the $$ in most cases. 5psi is pretty low, so there's not as much heat build up, therefore less you can take away, but in generaly, yes, you have a huge supply of water all around you.
