It will help. The air blowing across the core is Nice and cold.
We built a chiller using another core so not to loose the heater option.

It works quite well. I've had it on my truck for a few years now and I'll be rocking it again soon since its warming up again. You do lose the heater, so in the winter I run a convential A2W setup. But with meth and the chilled water my IAT's are consistently below ambient. Without meth IAT's are about ambient under boost at the end of a run. I'm really surprised this isn't more popular. It's probably the best mod for the money. If you have an A2W setup already (Radix, TVS etc) its just the price of heater hose.
