Default forced induction on classic Stang

Does anyone make a forced induction setup for classic stangs that is intercooled? the only one I know of is paxton and they don't make an intercooler for there kit. I would like turbo or supercharger it doesn't matter to me I just want it intercooled.

There is not much benefit to intercooling a supercharger, the compressor is belt driven.
And the extra plumbing to make the air go thru an intercooler is probably more loss than gain. It's much more efficient to put the air intake where it could get cold air, like thru a large hood scoop on a dragster.
A turbo is where you often see a intercooler. The compressor is driven by hot exaust gasses and alot of that heat gets transfered to the compressor impeller.

It's not hard to make one fit ither of them. For a supercharger just put in a air to air one up front and plumb it in..
