Default Supercharger with Front Mount Intercooler

So I'm gearing-up for my SC purchase.
If I felt it was more reliable, and "safer" I'd probably be going turbo.
However reliability has always been one of my primary goals.
Anyway... I've always loved the look of a Front Mount intercooler on a Turbo setup.
Makes the car look mean.

I've seen some S2000s with front mount intercooler, and noticed "Supercharger" in the owners' sigs.

How can I intall a front mount intercooler, when I go SC?
Can it be done with either Comptech or Vortech SC?
Should I buy the Aftercooler if I plan to go front mount, or does the FMIC replace the Aftercooler?
Does the FMIC offer better cooling than the Aftercooler?

Thanks.

Aftercoolers I like because its a shorter distance to the supercharger compared to intercoolers.

hte better choice is the Aftercooler, Some members, me included, changed the Comptech radiator for a larger one, same size as a FMIC, and did not got any HP extra.

The last vortech car I saw with a Tech2 radiator had a very hot Aftercooler after driving. unlike the stock Aftercooler and radiator setup which remained warm to the touch, not burning hot.

The pump used with the Vortech is not big enough to circulate fluid fast enough through the Tech2 radiator.

CAn we buy a aftermarket pump that will support this Tech2 Radiator?

Even with a Tech 2 aftercooler radiator another limiting factor is the core within the aftercooler itself.

No thanks, I like my air filter and a minimal boost loss
