The SRT-6 is intercooled. Same with the AMG SLK320.

The intercooling is actually to prevent detonation, by cooling the intake air after the compressor, or turbo, is done with the incoming air.

Whether the compression takes place in the pistons or in the blower/turbo, it's the temperature which will cause detonation.
