Thanks for the advice. I will monitor things as this project moves along and decide then. I already found an air/water that would fit, but am holding off to see how we do with power.

Typically, what happens is you have to either reduce spark advance or run over rich AFR's, both of which reduce HP. And, running water or water with methanol is a short band aid. Because of the blower height and size it appears you do not have the ideal space for an air to air cooler the size you would dream of, but anything is better than nothing? If a smaller foot print air/water would give you lower IAT than air to air, you might want to ponder the long term benefit even with the extra complexity and weight. Just a thought.
