Default Intercooler for vortech

So I've been thinking about the supercharger and what kit/combo to go with. I was originally thinking vortech v3 (self contained) non aftercooled and a meth kit. The more I think about the meth kit the more I just want to go with an intercooler.

I'm thinking about a paxton intercooler from superchargers online. Comes with everything except a couple small parts to make it fit the vortech. It says you have to re-clock the head unit. This is what I'm unsure of...I get the concept as the pipe needs to go from the blower to the intercooler to the motor but how is this achieved? Does it just mount to the bracket differently or what?

all you have to do is rotate the snail portion of the blower...the snail part is held onto the blower with 3 tabs that are secured with 6 allen head bolts.

the paxton intercooler is a complete kit. the damn thing better be for 1400 bucks!!! thats how much i paid for mine and i didnt have to get any extra parts for it to work with my vortech. i will add that you will need a larger bypass or you will experience compressor surge.
