You're speaking to the wrong type of engineer and tuners. A 5th grade student will know that the specific heat capacity of water is greater than air

Why do you think Underground Racing Twin Turbo Lambos producing 1750HP have been engineered with an air-to-water cooling system...

With air-to-air there are less moving parts to circulate the heat rejection medium which makes it more reliable, but less efficient in pre-cooling intake air.
