Default 5.0 Mustang turbo with no intercooler?

Just curious, we may be putting together a GT40 equiped 5.0 to go in one of our cars, and I am not sure if we will have room for an intercooler. I have allways planned on installing a methanol kit and running a 50/50 mix of water/methanol, but how well will that work with the methanol kit only and no intercooler.

How feasible is that on pump gas? What kind of temperature drops can I expect at 7-12lbs of boost? I had a friend buy your kit about three years ago for his GN, and he said it was absolutely one of the best products he bought for it, and I plan to run it on this car as well as the turbo Karmann Ghia I have in the wings to build...

did your friends GN have an intercooler ??
