Does anybody know how much coolant the stock maggie system holds? I'm trying to figure out how much Water Wetter to add to the system.

I would guess about 1-1.5 gallons

Run it up here to put a RX Superchiller on it!

not sure you need water wetter in it,,, it doesnt get that hot,,, i upgraded my reservoir to a roto-fab larger capacity about (1 gal.) i think the maggie reservoir only holds 16oz. ,,, that would probably work better...here is a pic of mine ,,,hydro dipped

Nice looking tank! But when you say it does not get that hot, the IAT2 temps dictate timing pulled by the PCM, and at 115 most begin to pull 1-2*, at 150 4-6* and at 180 plus 8-10 plus....thats as much as 30-50 rwhp lost. Log your IAT2 temps during a hard acceleration and you will see whats happening.

I agree, even in street driving the Maggie iat's can get to 150+*

Most that have the RX SuperChiller installed can't believe the difference in power on the street or track.

Heat is always the enemy.
