I read some thing similar to that as well, but I believe it was from renntech. They said that they needed a larger intercooler pump and were selling an upgrade for an arm and a leg.
I think that people want top mounted intercoolers not for cooling purposes, but to increase their horse power.
SLR Top mounted coolers help a bit with cooling, but I believe it prevents the loss of boost and it will make your supercharger that much more efficient, allowing your engine to make more horse power. Our intercoolers are very inefficient and allow boost to be loss and thus we lose power. I think that's right.

The only problem is recalibrating the IAT and MAP sensors...
The I/C's , S/C outlet manifold seem plag and play.
Anyone know where the SLR IAT / MAP sensor/s is/are?

Sorry I meant the S/C gearing not the g/box gearing...The S/C gearing wont require any ECU / software changes... its the same as adding a large crank pulley.

slr runs smaller supercharger pulley making 13lbs of boost stock and the crank shaft pulley is the same as ours . put a larger pulley on it and they increase alot more . they run same exact pulley we run they bolt right on . i have slr sitting in my garage right now and its very fast.. stock i beat slr in my E now slr is very fast

SLR S/C is plug and play, but your car will be leaner without a tune. it will work fine, only thing you need to do is to retune your car for the more air your are getting.
