I personally don't think you would get any gains for all the trouble in mounting such an item. The factory intercooler is quite well in pulling heat from the system. That being said, if you wanted to add a powercooler that you can add ice to, to further reduce the temp of the liquid in the intercooler, that would be the way to go
U better bring alot of Ice for that cooler though on a hot day!!!!
U will be dumping ice in that thing every 5min right gator LOL!!!

Good point I've looked into this a little.

The factory heat exchanger could be improved by punching holes throught the closed left and right side of the plastic factory lower grilling, widening the lower exchange, and creating a duel staged intercooler between the frame beams.

Kind of like this from the top side

the dots would be the frame rails
