1k rwhp, it's time. The Turbotech race kit has a nice heat exchanger with a fan built on it that would probably do the job just fine.

If it's 80% race car and you don't mind draining and filling up the tank with ice, then go for it.

W2A's can be very streetable if you use a large enough resevoir, heat exchanger, and water pump(s)! don't skimp out on that stuff and you'll do OK.
