fwiw, the only barrel coolers i've seen have been on strip cars (bar one) and they've all been quite long (something like 450-500mm for the main barrel) regardless of being meth-drag racer or 13B strip-street-warrior.

they all ran quite thin condensors (considering the amount of heat they were going to remove from the air) and the streetable ones seemed to be using a davies-craig pumps.

The only GT4 (that i've seen up close with the hood open) with a top mount factory W/A interheater also had surpringly thin condensor and at first touch felt nearly as hot as the radiator. It was a single-core alloy thing with plastic tanks.

With water being a much more efficient at 'absorbing' and transferring heat, i guess it's not the size of the condensor that matter so much, more the length of the pipes in the barrel that are exposed to the hot air?

There was a discussion about W/A versus A/A coolers recently... anyone managed to find it with 'search' yet?
