Default Air to water intercoolers

I was curious if anybody had any dealings with air to water intercoolers for superchargers. Or if they knew of any good sites that had some ideas. I am trying to figure out some more ways to increase my boost. Thanks,

well from what I hear they are a reliable way to cool the intake but it has alot of downsides. During regular driving you get fluctuating temps. sometimes around town youll still get alot of heat, but driving say on the interstate it would be better. With air-air you are seeing cooler temps around town and it just gets better with speed and wind running over the intercooler. Plus they have more parts like a coolant pump and heat exchanger you have to mess with. At the track they are supposed to cool better if you can add ice but it probably only a minimal gain unless you can add timing. Im going with air-air because its a little more consistent on the street and less parts.
