you "can" run with/o a intercooler, but warm-hot days will almsot negate the effect of the forced induction. You want to run an intercooler with any form of forced induction because pressurizing that air heats it up pretty dang fast.

it's gonna cost you about 4-5 grand for either a sc or a tc. Radix is the best supercharger kit for our trucks. STS is a good turbo kit.
