Air to Water intercooler tanks?
How many gallons of water is recommended? Power between 800 to 1000HP. I see a lot of guys running pretty big tanks.

i had around 2.5 on my old one...after a pass there would be just a few cubes still floating around...id say 5 and your good. with Air/water, you gotta make every pass count for the best, because buying and storing ice for testing and events to me just got to be obnoxious for a sportsman car.

buying? I just made a crap ton of ice cubes in our freezer (which makes them on its own) and stored in a freezer. But yes, it is a hassle if you're a 1 or 2 man crew

5 gallons here. 1" ID lines. Tank is in trunk, uses an intank bildge pump.
I'm a 1 man crew, I freeze paper cups and keep layers of them in my freezer, I have a small chest freezer in my shop dedicated for a2w ice. The I fill coolers, tear the paper off, drop in the ice chunk. Not as much surface area as cubes but at my power level IATs are fine.

Re: Air to Water intercooler tanks?
would 5 gallons suffice for a DD setup? blablabla yes, i've heard about the potential heatsoak issue with air to water, and that air to air is better for a DD... lets not get into all that.
how much water should i run to make a reliable daily driver setup with reasonably consistent intake temps?
EDIT: does it work well?
