Both ATI and Vortech offer cooling solutions for their setups. ATI offers an air to air(which is why people started buying them up...they got better power with them compared to non-intercooled), and Vortech has a Air to Water setup. But there is pretty much an intercooler solution for any supercharger you can think of, including roots/whipple setups.

Every Ford vehicle I know that has been supercharged has come with air to water intercooling, the Supercoupe, the Lightning, the 03 Cobra.
