If its a short ram getting air from inside engine bay then no. That would be bad. Stock air box or something like the Perrin CAI is generally best. A short ram intake being fed by a hood scoop could be beneficial.
Intercooler prevents or delays heatsoak. So initial intake temps are the same, but after even one pull your IATs will go up and you’ll be down on power, intercooler should delay this allowing for a couple pulls before high IATs drop power. The only real way to fully combat it is intercooler + wmi and or E85.
