Im going to run my V6 on vodka this weekend, get some 89% stuff from the local vodka bar, im hoping to see 450bhp.
problem with running an alcohol based fuel is that it dissolves things

i watched an import video lastnight
subaru impreze was running on methanol on tuned engine with 500bhp
they dumped the methanol system and installed an intercooler and was so much faster

I´ve talked to my preparator... and he said that i may get an extra 5 hp with a intercooler... not worth.... a lot of cars here run on methanol... specially in the drag competitions...
Here are some new pic´s, i´ve took last night...

you'll get more than 5hp from an intercooler. cooler air mean more boost.
also where does the air/fuel ratio sit while on boost

rememebr that it is not just size but the flow and pressure drop thats going to be caused by the intercooler. the VW/Audi/Seat 1.8 20VT intercoolers are good for flow

Ah I can see the RR plot now, I stand corrected. 
People shouldnt take me so seriously though
If it was someone local or that engine was in somethign a bit more standard then there would have been loads of I smell bull sh1t cries re the power claims from many of you.
