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.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
