well, the water to air that the all-tracs come with are very good for a fast throttle response and work well. but just an air to air top mount like i use to have on my 90 all-trac sucks because you get major heat soak. that means when you pull up to a light and the heat from the motor rises and hits the intercooler heating it up to a very high temp which can hurt power output. even when i put a fan on the top of it, it really only worked well at high speeds like on a freeway. if you go top mount, go W2A.
