It does significantly help, as the cooler air is less prone to pre-detonation...but I also agree that intercoolers are not bandaids
Put some sort of EM or a knock reader on your car. I bet when you throw on a TMIC on the knock goes up. I am not certain on why this happens, but it does when you go to say a TMIC to a FMIC. A larger, more efficient intercooler will bring your air closer to ambient in the charge pipes.

might be more dense air causing a leaner condition? I don't know. either way, I will put the I/C on and add some boost. Live life on the edge. YYYYAAAAARRRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
Good judgment comes from experience, and often experience comes from bad judgment.
