Noob question, be easy with me...

Here in MD, a tornado warning is going on and it was raining HARD. While I was on the
highway, went through some serious puddles and the car start to feel slightly sluggish. After
about a 1 minute, it started to run fine. When I got home, I checked my intake and it was dry.
My concern now would be the intercooler. Is it possible my intercooler from ZZP suck in water?

The car is running find at the moment.

No. You would have a major boost/vacuum leak.

More likely is the intake filter element got wet and with the air flow of just driving the car it dried out.

Do you have one of those open element CAI's that's really low and inside the fender well?

an intercooler can not suck in water unless it gets submerged and has a hole/crack in it...and you would likely not be able to generate any boost if that was the case.
