I can't say I've been there since I haven't done this mod but I have an experience running 8V with APC and no IC.
Flop was B201S that means 8V engine with APC and no IC. It pushed hard only for the 1st two accelerations and after that it was going sour. An intercooler (even stock C900 one) is able to maintain more stable intake air temperature and thus provide solid boost almost at every overtake on the interstate. But APC system is a must to be included for this install.

P.S.
FMIC is a good way to go because the stock C900 IC setup isn't too nice: the air filter body is throttling the flow thru the IC and thus it reduces its efficiency. FYI in terms of efficiency reducing it doesn't matter whether the throttle is installed at the intake or at the exhaust side.
