Default How important is an intercooler for supercharger?

I know it's pretty necessary for a turbo, but what about a SC? There have been some used JRSC's on ebay for about 1200 or so and was thinking about getting one. Would you guys pay for a used SC, and what would you pay TOPS? And is damage to a SC something to worry about when buying used?

Thanks in advance

i dont think you use an intercooler with a supercharger, there is an aftercooler for the centrifugal type, and even an intercooler for that, but i dont think there is for the roots type like the jrsc. you might want to get that jrsc oil cooling kit of whatever it is tho. i think id pay 1000 for a used jrsc tops

It would probably be good to get, to prevent heat soak.
