Both superchargers are the same but the intercooler will deliver cooler, denser air into the cylinder and allow more timing=more potential.
Just spend the $ and get the intercooled version.
As far as gains, you could achieve a rwhp of ~500 with all the right supporting mods.

I do not have experience with the non I/C version, but you want all the help you can get to keep IATs low. The intercooler is worth the extra $ IMO. How much power do you want?

I agree, get the intercooler as long as your spending your money. On those warmer days you'll be glad you did.

Charles, I would highly suggest the intercooled system if you are going to tow. Give me a call, we can help you out with product knowledge and customer service that will even beat the OTHER guys.....Not to mention a damn good price as well.
