Default question for the Radix guys

What is the total capacity of the liquid part of the intercooler on the Radix? And what kind of resorvoir tank does it use? I got my home built intercooler for the Whipple up and running but I am thinking that when the weather warms up I will need more cooling capacity. Currently my system holds exactly 1 gallon.

You guys mean 1 gallon total to fill both heat exchangers, the lines and the reservoirs?

I think mine took about 3 gallons with the large vortech reserve tank.

I thought it was that black box in the upper left hand corner just above the coolant resevoir.
