This is interesting, on multiple different forums, car manufacturers it seems to be fairly obvious that intercoolers don't make horsepower, they prevent you from loosing it after heat soak. When does heat soak occur, that's arbitrary based on how the car is being used. Ever been to the track, I'm sure most of you have atsome point and seen all different types of drivers/tuners putting ice on their intakes, spraying their intercoolers (Mitsubishi and Subaru used sprayers on their intercoolers from the factory). You can run a stock intercooler, on a hot day it won't perform as well as an upgrade, on a cold day, probably won't notice a difference.
