Message	I have heard lots about these, and just recently saw this add from Z1 about them. I am not saying that I am going to get them or anything, and I mostly have my mind made up on getting a nice big Front Mount Intercooler...haha..jk...actually, I am getting Stillen Side Mounts. Anyways, back to my question. I have heard many good things about water to air intercoolers, and was just wondering why most other people don't run them on their cars. It must be b/c of non-practicality issues or something else that i don't know of. I was just curious if anyone could shed some light on these kind of intercoolers, and as to how they are for daily driven cars, occasionally driven cars, drag cars, track cars...etc. Seems like something different and cool, but I don't know much about them, and that's why i am posting this :) Thanks guys.
