Message	comes to Air to Water Intercoolers. When done properly it can be an excellent performer. I have a set on my car for about 3-4 months now, the efficiency accross the ic is similar to that of Stillens ICs and I don't get heatsoaked nearly as fast. Water can absorb heat much faster than air and it can absorb more. Get a peice of copper heat it up (put a lighter under it, sand it on a belt sander, cut it) it gets hot, now stick it near a high powered fan and see how long it takes to cool down, than do it again and stick it in a small (3'' x 3'' x 3'' depth) tub of water and see how much quicker it releases the heat. When done properly you will see great benefits and can be done for cheap. $1400 is a joke for a Air to Water IC setup. Z1 didn't do it properly as far as a consumer's standpoint goes. I'm sure the performance is up to par. It can easily be done for ~400 for an entire setup. Than again people say an Electric Fan setup for a Z is fairly inefficient and I've got a setup that works slightly better than the stock fan clutch. *shurgs*... -JokerF15
