IC after S/C?

I am planning on putting a KB S/C on a LS1 truck and was wondering about putting a IC on before, but was wondering if it would do any help at all?

Thanks
Jeremy

not really.. the way to do it is create a "plate" with a kind of radiator that the air passes through that water is run through and put that in between the intake manifold and the supercharger.

Two questions:

1)Doesn't ATI mount their ICs before the S/C?

2)Do you think that I could get enough water from what would normally go through the tb to be effective?

I'm guessing the one you are talking about mounts right on top of the motor and is not a centrifugal type blower.

... and

1. No, why would they do that? it doesn't make any sense.
2. You probably would be able to get enough flow but the water would be really hot which would not be ideal. The setup I made used it's own seperate water/pump and ice tank to keep the water as cold as possible.
