I plan to run a air/water intercooler on my Firebird when I put it together, and just run it with the water in the intercooler, no pumps or water tank. I know it will work for one 1/4 mile pass and while street driving the air going thur the intercooler will cool it back down if you don't keep hammering on the gas peddle.

Don't bet on what? the highest inlet air temp I saw last year at the end of a pass was 184 degrees, and that was after a pass and then draining a hot intercooler and just filling it back up with cold water and running again.
This was running with 24 psi till 5.5 seconds and turning the boost down to 20.5 psi out the back door.
