John,
Liquid coolers are legal, but in my opinion it will just be too heavy, cause you have to carry the cooler, plus the liquid, plus all the plumbing, fittings, and lines.
I plan on running CO2 on mine to ice it down while going down the track.

Jason, I understand how it all works and I see that Seb, Keith and yourself all have a/a intercoolers and basically you are all the same..all 3 have to have air move across a core to remove heat from the charged air..what makes you 3 different from each other is the placement of your coolers..Seb has one big one..Keith has 2 small ones and you have a small one hidden behind your headlight..The point that I'm really trying to make in all of this is that those like you,Seb and Keith that want to use a/a intercoolers can do that...those like myself and Richard of RCC that wanted to use liquid/air intercoolers can do that because we all can...what about the guys that don't have any type of intercooling due to the fact that they either purchased the bike like that or the builder that were working with at the time just refuse to do any type of intercooling and was saying to the buyer "you don't need it, we are going plenty fast without it"...well times are changing fast and we all know that an intercooled engine will live a helluva lot longer and safer than a non intercooled engine--fact! Secondly, how simple would it be for guys such as Alen Daniels, Mike Slowe, RMR, Shybear, Ricky Woods etc just to name a few to put a small shot of nos on their bikes, not to make any more power but to make them run safer longer at lower boost levels..Those guys may not want to change a single thing on their current bikes but if they did want to do something they can't because of the current nos rule and dual power adder rule...the nos route would be alot cheaper than having to completely refab the whole bike to put some time of a/a or l/a intercooler on it..
