It's a common misconception that superchargers don't "need" intercooling. The heat generated by turbos has almost nothing to do with the exhaust; the inlet charge gets hot because it's compressed. This is high-school physics stuff; have a look at the Ideal Gas Law for starters. This it applies to superchargers as well as turbochargers!
As mentioned above, if you're using a supercharger without lowering the compression, you'd be crazy not to use intercooling. The only way to stop it from pinging would be to run it on rocket fuel, or use fuck-all boost, or retard the timing to buggery. None of these are good options.
Get an intercooler, and it doesn't have to cost you a grand, that's just for the bling brand-name ones. Hell my uber-cooler only cost me $700 and you won't need anything half as big as that! Something like the Aristo cooler I have in my garage would work nicely, and you can pick them up for $200 tops.
