Not to put you on the spot Razor, just looking to gain some knowledge here.
Do you have documented testing or any other source that will back up your idea on this?
What if a person was planning on taking the boost level even higher than present levels? Wouldn't the extra btu capacity of an air to liquid intercooler help in that?
What about the space savings of a liquid over a super gorilla air to air? Maybe space is a premium with some people.
Wouldn't an air to liquid intercooler with a large 3 gallon plus holding tank with an alky injection kit on top of that be the ultimate? Assuming that someone is strictly looking for and can afford the ultimate that is.
If someone were using a more efficient intercooler system, wouldn't that mean you could back off a little on the quantity of alky injection and still stave off detonation? And, in the process making the small onboard quantity of alcohol last longer between fills, lessening the running around to refill your reservoir and the chance of having it run out on you?
And speaking of running out of alcohol. Wouldn't an air to liquid intercooler offer a little more protection in cases when you ran low of alcohol?
I just can't understand why you would argue down a superior intercooler setup? Let's just say that there wasn't air to liquid intercoolers in the world. That would be like saying you don't need a front mount, just use the stock one and inject more alcohol?
