A heat exchanger is what i'm talking about...now...but both general achieve the same effect so...
The intercoolers for roots have been around for awhile, but since they add cost to the setup...and also look ugly as sin(add about 4-6 inches of height to a BDS 6-71 blower), general people don't buy them...or they don't think they will be making more than 8 PSI...
The JR setups can easily be adapted(maybe) for Air/Water setups...since there is a company that made their own supercharger kit based off of a similar design supercharger(Eaton M62), But that would add cost to the setup. But no, I don't think JR themselves have a kit for their own product...might in the future...
The Air/Water setups you aren't seeing on the Harely truck is because its underneath the supercharger directly inline with the air charge. Same goes for any of the other Modular engine cars with blowers. When you remove the Eaton M112 unit, you'll see a cavity filled with what looks like a funny radiator box thingie...has two lines coming out of it going towards the front. Thats the Air/Water heat exchanger Ford uses.
The Supercoupe though has an Air to Air unit instead. It has a flipped Supercharger that sends the air up to the front to the intercooler than back around to the intake.
