Hi I am new to this forum.
There are guys with the 3.8L engines powered by an Eaton Super Charger using water kits to avoid the hefty $1200 USD cost for a liquid to air intercooler. The intercooler mounts between the intake manifold and the blower.

But now guys are starting to spray Alky/water before the throttle body. This is working. There are guys reducing pulley size and elliminating KR.
There is controversy. Many claim it ruins the teflon coating on the rotors in the S/C. Other say the coating comes off anyway.

Some think the manufacturers of the intercoolers say that alky is bad so they don't loose IC sales.

I just ordered an alky kit and plan to run a smaller pulley with no KR.
I hope it works.
