Don't know. My guess is that the difference in power from a 90 degree to a 60 degree day feels like about 50-60hp, so I'm guessing that's what the power improvement will be with the intercooler. On a 90 degree day the car hooks up in 3rd by about 70, on a 50-60 degree day it will break the tires loose at 80-90mph from a 3rd gear roll on and go right to the rev limiter. It's a very noticeable difference in power as the outside air temps drop.
It was downright scary from a traction standpoint driving the car earlier this year in the morning when the outside temps were in the mid to high 20's. Some of that is road temps/tire temps though.
Here's another pic with a CD sitting on it. And no, this isn't one of those half-size CD's that gets handed out at tradeshows.
