For Drag Only, 7 gallon WT, and a nice A2W IC. No need for a heat exchanger. We are not as cheap as Ebay but can set you up with very high quality parts.

Not that bad at all. All aluminum, very well made, and fits nicely in the cut radiator support. The Water tank sits in the rear wheel well so it off sets that weight. I'll get off my *** and get a pick up tomorrow.

Sorry it took me so long to post the pic of my A2W installed as promised. I'm deployed right now and been busy. Here's a mock up pic of it put where it will go, along with initial turbo piping mockup.

^ I'd be interested to see how the hood fits with that mounted as high as it is. That thing is rather large.

It's kinda an optical illusion. It's about the same height as my old incon butt pipe was right there, but due to the camera angle, it just looks higher. hood closes.
