Yep, your Water to Air intercooler deal can easily add over 100 pounds to the vehicle weight (with a 5-8 gal ice reservoir)..
Say you have a basic 5 gallon reservoir. (40 pounds just for the water). (Pint a pound the world around). Then the aluminum or plastic reservoir weighs a few pounds.
Then you have the pump weight and the transfer lines/ water weight. Finally you have your 42 pound inter-cooler before adding a gallon or more to that unit.
But at the end of the day the engine will be able to run more boost without durability issues.
