idk who said they'd never use a supercharger without an intercooler, but i guess you mean a centrifugal superchager system, because i don't know any roots type blowers with intercoolers.

Ever taken a look at the intercooled MagnaChargers? Example: http://magnacharger.com/gmc5corvetteintercooled.htm
Intercoolers are a little harder to package using a roots or twin screw (especially if you're mounting between the cyl. banks) and it generally ends up being liquid to air, but it's still very common. You will ALWAYS make more power, safely, with a properly designed intercooled system - I stand by my earlier statement.

im going to wave the bulls**t flag.... 
Dual power adder cars are EXTREMELY complex to tune correctly from what i hear...the thought of a blown, sprayed 9 second powerplant with a stock shortblock in a daily driver sounds like a bit of a stretch to me....i guess stranger things can happen but some people just love to stretch the truth....

I think its possible, but I'd really have to talk to the guy to wonder if its true.
He's using the juice as his intercooler, as much as a power adder. It's possible, but really on the edge of blowing up any minute.
The biggest question for is, automatic or manual? A quick look under the rear end would tell you a lot too (stock axle or not, what sort of rear suspension stuff). Also you'd think someone who could tune a mid 9 second computer controlled car could check thier own alternator. Probably just wanted to impress the "kids" down at the local auto parts counter.
