Colder air is better so yes, or at least offer it as an option or upgrade.

That's why I like em. They match the whole drop and go thing and there will be little to no need for additional intercooling piping. I was actually thinking of this kit:Seems like an entire kit would not really be necessary, although an ice box that an intake pipe runs through would be nice.You must be logged in to view this image or video.You must be logged in to view this image or video.
(interesting how when searching for 'ice box intercooler' a 4G63 engine is at the top of image search list)
Thats actually pretty cool but keep pipes as short as possible so on the intake like that is a good idea
Impressive that something that can produce that much power is small enough to be a part of a fancy cordless drill.
A voltage booster? You mean like a transformer? That could potentially be viable, but that would negatively affect spool up time. I don't know, you might have to do some testing To find something the right balance, but remember, a transformer is not 100% efficient so you will lose some power.Amperage is probably the way, judging by those huge power cables.
Not sure if that makes any difference since overall power stays the same, but what about using a smaller motor rated for higher voltage and a voltage booster to go from let's say 12V 100A to 120V 10A?

Not just a transformer, they are a bit more complicated. Here's an example: http://www.rmvhf.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/Low_Voltage_Switcher.jpg
While power losses are indeed present let's think of this as a perfect world example with 100% efficiency.
One may wonder why go through all this trouble instead of just going with a low voltage motor. An answer would be weight. As far as i know a physically smaller high voltage motor would produce same power as physically larger low voltage motor. If that is the case then having a smaller more powerful-per-size motor plus a voltage booster would still get a smaller and lighter over all unit when compared to lower voltage throughout. Plus there won't be a meed for massive cables to carry the high voltage.
Are you sure that pump would be enough? Only 1 GPM flow so it would probably take it 30 seconds to a full minute just to circulate water one time.
Can't recommend any specific one, but if this setup is for just the motor then why not use existing cooling system and tap into it?
I'll go ahead and purchase a motor capable of this just in case! These brushless water pumps are fairly cheap so it shouldn't be a problem.If that is not possible, however, i'd say try to get a pump that would circulate water once every 10 seconds or so (maybe 5 GPM?). Or a simple ice box will do since this motor is only meant to run in short bursts.
Can't help but think that this was discussed already though. If that is the case, apologies for questioning it again.
are you able to increase the boost as the rpm increases? If not, you need bypass vlave as this will be more like a supercharger.
