By doing this, the intake charge will not heat up as much going through the supercharger, giving you a cooler intake charge. Enlarging the heat exchanger on the "radiator" side should have zero effect on pressure drop b/c there is no direct link between the two.

gotcha... my misinterpretation of what you were saying.
