False.
The new SVT Lightning concept has a system called the supercooler, which takes chilled A/C coolant and pumps it into the supercharger's intercooler at WOT, giving it a gain of approx 50 horsepower. It cools intake temps from about 140 degrees to 50 degrees. This burst of coolness lasts about 45 seconds at a time and can recharge in 2 minutes.

The SVT guy John Coletti said its pretty simple and wouldn't be all that hard to put on production cars. He said all it really needs is an extra coolant resevoir and some piping to make it all work.
