Default air to air vs liquid to air in drag cars

Hey guys wanted to get some opinions on what you think about running liquid to air intercoolers instead of air to air. I understand that air to air is less hassle on the street, but for a drag car liquid to air i believe would be much more efficient.

ah i wasn't aware that would put you in a different class. So if your running liquid to air then basically that puts you in a full unlimited class or what?
