    There isn't much that's stock anymore
    I'm no expert here but my understanding is it really doesn't matter what intercooler you run. You can just buy a generic one and make it work. The biggest problem I've seen is where to put them. With a turbo some people do on top of the engine and add a hood scoop while others modify their radiator and get it to fit up front. Not sure what people do with the supercharger. My guess is that up front will be easier. So in short I'm sure it's possible. You just need to get one that will fit where you want it and then figure out how you want to plumb it.

    what type of compressor? if it's a centrifugal with piping you can easily plumb a cooler

    the lysholm/screw type are a bit harder if they bolt directly to the manifold. i have seen spacer plate style coolers for Honda's years ago.

    like this thing http://www.lhtperformance.net/Superchargers/Parts/upgrades.html

    good luck!

    so you need to fabricate a plate style cooler that will fit between the compressor and manifold. then plumb a water pump and lines to circulate through the plate cooler.

    water/meth injection is kind of another option.
