Is there a "basics to air/water IC" out there? Help me understand how it works. Somewhere you have a tank of icewater and it is pumped through the IC, is that the basic gist? Obviously then it's sealed from outside airflow -- instead of ambient air flowing through cooling the intake charge it's the icewater... yes/no?
Seems like that would work great for short distances (drag racing) but a pain to maintain (refill) for a daily driver...

Air/water intercooler. Far superior to any air/air in existence.

Air/water isn't ideal for daily driving. For drag apps that would be nice; even then i see alot of people use FMIC or no IC at all on methonal/alchohol fuel applications.

Sure it is, provided you've got an adequately sized heat-exchanger (radiator) up top. It can have as fast, if not faster, recovery rates than air-to-air concerning intake air temperatures.

BDC's air-to-water worked great for daily driving!
His water temps were lower than mine during the hot dog days of Texas.
I'm not sure how it would it would perform on a road track like MSR, but it was fine on the street.
It's about implementation rather than the core used.
A big heat exchanger and nice reservoir with a sufficient bilge pump.
Air to air is a whole lot simplier to install and debug.
Air to water involves more components; thus, it's more complex when you have problems.

This is what I am currently running - Air to Air - APEX'i GTR core, 2-1/2" tubing and fully ducked. I would have used an air to water but I have a 3rd Gen ( No trunk for a heat exchanger / radiator ) and I didn't want to cut the car up too much.
