There is alot more to it that just power graphs. The innovative intercooled last about 10mins on track before intake temps get high enough that timing is pulled and you lose power.

This will be a highly engineered solution properly stress tested in a number of simulations on an engine dyno. I wouldn't be surprised if their test setup ran 100k+ simulated miles.

Cosworth make OEM and have experience building Formula one engines far superior to our road car engines.
I don't like assumptions but I am having hard time believing that there will be much of a difference because by design they are more prone to heat soak and put a lot more stress on the engine (bottom end torque, heat management issues etc) ..
