Need air to water intercooler advice.

Hey guys, I'm trying to get opinions on what size -AN line I should use for my air to water setup. I have a meziere electric water pump that flows 20GPM. What would be the ideal hose diameter to support 1000+rwhp? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Go with atleast a -10. Depending on how long your run is you want to be able to move some water.

-10 for long runs or a weak pump, -12 for a great pump and moderate runs with a good size exchanger, -16 with tandem pumps or short runs or no exchanger.

Thanks for the advice guys. Since I just bought 70ft of -10AN for my feed, return, and catch can lines I guess I'll use -10AN for the A/W lines as well. I also have a big fluidyne heat exchanger in front of my radiator that the water will be passing through as well. I just didn't want to go too big because I was affraid I would lose some line pressure and then the water wouldnt flow as fast. Any other info is still welcome.
