Why would an intercooler increase speed above full throttle altitude?
It looks like a line added to the chart.

The principle is correct. The inter-cooler was designed to increase charge density.

IIRC, the general rule of thumb is for every 10 degrees of temperature drop there is a 1.8% increase in power.

However, I think the increase has more to do with the weight. If I am reading the post correctly, the extended line is some 2250Kg lighter.
