In simple terms an Air to Air intercooler relies on the air flowing over it at the exact moment. If your stopped or moving slowly the cooling effect is greatly reduced.
Think of the AWIC working similar to a capacitor in car audio. With a large enough resovoir you could run the car under full load/boost with no air flow over the front.
For short boosts of speed you can get monster FMIC performance with stock looks (my purpose for using it).

According to the goes over in Australia this unit supports upto 300-350 or so HP before needing an upgrade.
