As the air goes into the engine, the Air Charge Cooler is supposed to cool the air down PRIOR to entering the super charger so that more air will fit in the cylinders and allow a richer fuel mixture and also not overheat the supercharger itself. This in turn allows more horsepower to be generated.
If the intercooler pump is faulty or not running correctly (i.e. - not pumping fluid constantly) then the intake air temperature will become too high and the engine will reduce power to save both the super charger and the engine itself from damage.
Hope that helps... the above pictures are directly from the downloadable SRT6 service manual. Use the search in Adobe's PDF reader to find "Charge Air Cooler".
Cheers!

Have you checked the SC cooling pump? When mine went out it wouldn't go fast either. The SC wouldnt kick in because it was too hot.
Also check the air filters. You could also check the troubleshooting section of the manual.

Funny you mentioned this... i was test driving one in Davie Fla and the Honda dealer and it felt like it was limited at 120.... I Thought something was wrong with that... but it's good to know it wasn't just... Well it's a good thing i didnt buy it

yeah the intercooler pump is a big problem with the str6's, i took mine to a dealership nearby and they fixed mine under warranty within a few days of having it and they tested the car to make sure it was working, and when i went to go pick up my car i could have sworn it was faster lol
. my acceleration is GONE. but it is on(sorta) at night when its kinda cold
