Blitz is supposedly a drop-in with the stock duct; Greddy requires modification of the stock duct (or a Pettit/PFS duct). Both will work with the stock airbox and battery.

THE PFS Intercooler does a fine job. I don't track the car, only street and drag strip and at the strip I run race gas and 17-18 lbs of boost. Works great, no lag on the street.

If you want to run a PFS intercooler hack those inlet/outlets off so they are only around 3" long and make your own pipes that are nice and straight. Ditch the air pump and go basically straight across from the Y pipe, then get a Greddy elbow and do straight to it.
If you do a 4th gear pull and your air temps climb then you need a different IC.
Personally I dont like for my air temps to be much over 25-35F over ambient. Obviously you get heat soak here and there at redlights and such and of course hard core track days are going to be different. But if you cant drive around on the interstate with 25-35F over ambient temps and do some 4th gear pulls here and there with barely any increase then you need to rethink your IC.

Which Stock Mount Inter-Cooler (SMIC) would you recommend ?

best drop-in is Blitz smic.
Next would be SR motorsports, Greddy, or rare ARC. Greddy needs some serious porting at lower inlet to reduce pressure drop for 12 psi use.
