Why are you guys running 2 coolant reservoirs on your trilogy's?

The smaller reservoir is for the air to water intercooler system. It's separate of the engine cooling system.

I thought it was because the Trilogy owners always thought they were cooler than the rest of us... :lol:

Sort of. If you have an air-water centrifugal it probably has a really large reservoir. The Trilogy (and Cobra) uses a smaller reservoir. It is possible to use a large trunk-mounted reservoir with either system so that you can add ice, providing for an even cooler intake charge for short periods of time (like 1/4 mile).
