| Intercooling is Now The Industry Standard |
| March 1994: Accessible Technologies, Inc. introduces Intercooled ProCharger systems, the aftermarket industry's first intercooled supercharger systems. |
 |
| 1994-1996: Some companies claim that intercooling is not helpful, and require customers to use "band-aids" such as ignition retard at boost levels above 5 psi. Others familiar with intercooling and OEM forced induction applications welcome ATI's innovation and this latest technology. |
| 1994-1996: Third parties document hp gains of 50-100% with ATI's Intercooled ProCharger systems, as compared to the 25-45% hp gains documented for supercharger systems running pump gas without intercooling. |
| October 1996: Others introduce "optional" intercoolers as an expensive upgrade, while now saying that intercooling is not necessary. Gains of up to 100hp are documented with the use of ice water. |
| 1996-1999: The large advantage in horsepower gains and engine reliability produced with intercooling on 9:1 fuel injected motors is well documented, but for newer high compression, high performance motors such as the LT1, 4.6 Cobra 4 valve, and LS1, the value of intercooling is beyond debate. |
| Early 1999: Others acknowledge the obvious superiority of intercooling and introduce complete intercooled supercharger systems. Their latest High Output systems all feature intercooling, while their entry-level systems contain superchargers alone. The use of ice is required to match air-to-air intercooled performance. |
