Default Installing a FMIC for a Vortech SC

I have a vortech V-9 G-Trim supercharger kit w/o aftercooler. That being said, I am thinking about probably adding a FMIC setup so that the air that is being forced into the engine is cooler (obviously).

How would I go about making one and buying whatever is required. The research I have done so far hasn't found any for an ls1 f-body. But some for import cars (no shock there...).

Whoever has experience in doing this, post away because I am LOST as to what I need to plan on getting, where to get the stuff, etc.

Thanks
