Intercooler temps (again)

[Jeremy Gonyou]

I've heard, with a large reservior (sp?), that the little cooler doesn't 
need to do much.  By time the coolant cycles through the tubes and sits in 
the reservoir, most of the heat is gone.  It'd be interesting to see how the 
stock system compares when using a larger water cooler or an air-to-air 
cooler.
I hear of Sy/Ty guys "upgrading" to air-to-air and figure they must be 
cracked.  Of course, I have no data to back that up....
