Boat Engines typically run cool so they can be leaner vs a car engine and Carbs typically have a pretty wide range of Air/Fuel ratio vs the speed load.

Carbs can actually add more fuel with the same main jet size depending on signal to the jet.

5.5 no intercooler, to 6.5 BELOW the intercooler installed at the same time. I think you lose 1 pound of boost due to the intercooler on this application. The engine does run a steady 155 deg. I havent run a roots blower on a car, so this may not be apples to apples.
