Air to water is more effecient than air to air (all things equal). So I don't think I would change your setup just yet...

your both right.

The intercooler core is inside the intake manifold. The intercooler radiator is sandwhiched between the AC condenser (in front) and the engine coolant radiator.

I think a bigger radiator would help out if you where in a long autocross race, but not the strip so much.
