Look at it this way, the Innovate w/ Intercooler is going for $4,195 on ft86speedfactory.
Pros (in my opinion)
- modest power upgrade compared to others
- you are likely to gain a minimum of +40 whp (but I think someone posted gains in the 60's, not sure their location) BUT that would put you at potentially 210, 220 and 230 whp. With the weight of this car, it will be pretty darn quick
- it will be cooled so heat wont be an issue (relative to how hot it gets naturally)
- it is twin screw so that also reduces relative heat also (relative to how hot it gets naturally)
- because of its modesty, I think it also serves as a safe addition to the engine, if you care about long term reliability/quick ware and tear (which is inevitable)
those are some off the top of my head. once i finally go for a forced induction install I think the Innovate s/c kit is my #1 choice vs. the other FI options, including turbos, unless something else comes along and seems worth it for the mid to long term.

I am not sure its worth the inter cooler as it shows very small gains at lower boosts.
