Default charge cooler set up

Hi i need some advice on a charge cooler set up.I've been looking at pwr units but what do you guys favor as a water reservoir and how much capacity do you think it should have(i have circa 450 whp).
I am from the u.k. so the weather here is not always hot as you know

The biggest fuel cell you can find, stacked with ice and water. If it's a drag only car you don't need a heat exchanger, just make sure there's a drain on the bottom of the cell.

a 4gl cell will work fine also make sure it has at least -10 lines in and out, i use -12, and also place a quick disconnect fitting in the center so you could empty the water and it will alway's almost have the same amount of water and ice for better consitency in temp..

(quick disconnect with rubber hose so you could run the water away from car)
(racecar appl...)

Yes it is a pure drag car. So i only need the pwr cooler and say modify a jaz fuel cell so it can drain quickly.
What kind of pump do you think i should run?
