Air to air are lighter but take up space needed to lower the bike if front mount and if plenum mount need good ducting to work
Water inj can work ok, but don't give the hp advantage of a intercooler as any density increase from cooling is offset by water converting to steam
Option 2 is methanol as fuel , high maintainence , but a 10% torque increase
So it realy comes down to how much maintenence you are willing to do between rounds , what boost levels you want to run , and just how drag dedicated the bike is
A gsxr 1000 i was building as my drag bike had a ice intercooler , but sold it before using it so now the replacement zx14 has less ability to intercool and will have water injection
Option 3 --- "top secret"
Check this out. Probably made in China, who cares.

I also have invented a lightweight, electric, refrigerated boost cooling system where coolant that flows through air/water/water/air intercooler is refrigerated. Do you want to get a patent ? We'll make millions.
