Steeda Whipple Intercooler (Gus)

I just saw an article about the Steeda Whipple Intercooler Radiator conversion.
1) The Steeda unit sure looks a lot like the prototype one Whipple had photos posted of before they cinched their relationship with Ford. Presumably for cost reasons Ford may have encouraged them to down size? The Steeda design any relationship?
2) The article claimed that the Steeda cooler radiator increased the efficiency 160%. What exactly does that mean? Is the charge air temperature drop 160% more? So if the charge air temperature drop was 200 deg F stock Whipple, then the charge air temperature drop would be 320 deg F with the Steeda cooler radiator (like a 12% power increase)?
