Can you run as big of a intercooler as you want, or does it have to be a certain size for certain power ranges?? Can an intercooler be to big for the setup??

Yes it can be, the same way a turbo can be too big for a specific engine. Choosing an Intercooler should take into account your intended boost levels, flow/size of turbo to be used, engine size etc. It is not just a matter of finding the biggest IC that can fit and sticking it on.

Isnt there a way to download these books?
Is there by any chance a Super Charger Max Boost book?
Would you guys recommend those Maximum Boost books for people that are doing a S/C instead?

SC is the same basic principals. You could use about half the info in Maximum Boost for a SC application. Tword the end of the book Corky Bell starts getting really specific about turbos, but the rest is general physics and math that would help for either type of boost.

Its a very good book but since it is a couple of years old there are a few things that it does not touch on. I think it was made in like 1997 so theres a few things that arent in there.
