Yes

Graham in England supercharged my car, and is currently building a new engine for lots of boost. Graham devised a spreadsheet that takes the supercharger parameters into account. It will soon be "live" on his website.

Inside my photo locker are scans of calculations on the EG33 - Whipple twin screw. It shows the very major difference between running with an intercooler and without.

Study these:

Incidentally, we chose not to use an intercooler, but rather to use alcohol mix injection [I run very well on that, myself ] It is definitely possible to use a charge cooler, but the fabrication is major.
