I felt a HUGE difference in hot weather with the procharger on my car. The intercooler will help but, it can't do anything to reverse a 60+ degree increase in ambient temps from winter to summer. I'm not including the effects of ice in a air to water intercooler so no one go postal on me. 
Some meth injection might help.

With a whipple I'd get the meth kit for any amount of boost. 6lbs unintercooled in those temps = very hot IAT's.
Anything to cool the air down will help.

Its not really that bad if I'm on the freeway at cruising speed for a bit to at least get the thing at ambient temp. As soon as you've been boosting for a few runs you notice the heat slowing you down.
Oh ya, no elavation here, at least nothing signifigant, close to the great lakes.
I hope the intercooler I'll be doing will help all this.
