Noob ?
how does the Stillen super charger work?
I mean i see that it sits on the intake pendulm or replaces it and is driven by the cranckshaft but it looks to me that it sucks not blows
so how is it intercooled?

I think the stillen is a screw type supercharger. Basically the screw rotates relative to the pulley it is driven which is driven by the crank pulley. What do you mean by how it is intercooled? Either NA or FI you can utilized an intercooler, it's just that for NA purpose it is useless, because the air is not hot compared to FI application (compress air gets hot, not to mention the heat the turbo's or supercharger unit exude) and therefore will add extra unnecessary weight. Edit* forgot to mention you'll lose extreme pressure from the maze of pipes.
air filter -> pipe to intercooler -> intercooler -> pipe to plenum.

Air gets compressed as it gets sucked in at one point and travels down the spiraling lobes. Great for reliability. The Stillen just doesn't produce much power compared to other forms of forced induction. Other than that, nothing is wrong with it.
As you compress air it heats up, the intercooler is basically just a radiator, but instead of cooling fluid by running air over it, you are cooling air with air. They have air-to-air intercoolers and liquid cooled intercoolers.
