For what you are doing, on the street, YES.
If you were racing for money and not making multiple passes (30 min/1 hr between runs) THEN a ice water tank and the water to air would give you a bit more lead on the other guy at the end of the each race. But you would have already won.
But I think you probably do best out of three "pulls" and the performance would vary too much with the water to air deal (1st run to 3rd run) vs the air to air consistent performance. Understand?
I have some patents for using Air Conditioning to try to cool the water faster between runs but even with that you had to drive over a mile at 60 mph 60 seconds) before the intercooler water temp was close to the first run performance. I was trying to get the performance on each long LeMans straight away (3 straight runs) where the cars run 230+ mph) consistent by recharging the inter-coolers chiller tanks while the vehicle was in the corners and lower speed portions of the race track.
