I'm of the opinion that the split cooling without adding a large tank will have very minimal effects on IATs. If you go that route, at least run straight water (with corrosion inhibitors) for your use, I think it is actually a waste of time and money. (I do have a BMW reservoir if you're interested though)

You and I both have the same sort of needs.
from what I gather, in order not to pull timing on top of a long pull, you either need to start at very low temperatures (Ice in a tank, or killer chiller), or have a more efficient way of cooling the charge. (methanol/water injection).
I'm very much leaning towards methanol injection at this point. I plan on spraying wiper fluid right into the supercharger.

Yes with the FTP HE. Mind you ambient was around 90 to 95. With split I will be 100-110 degrees within 90seconds or less IAT where without split I will hover around 115-120 for a few minutes. This was in stop and go, on the freeway, its faster recovery for both

You don't have to mod anything. Even stock, it's a pretty good car. 
You'll probably never realize when you get in the first stages of the computer pulling a little timing, because you're well in the triple digits by then. (depends on ambient of course)

Also, about distilled water and water wetter... I live in Socal and the temps never go below 40 in the winter. Do I really need to add any antifreeze? Can't I just run just distilled water and WW year round?

I should probably throttle back a little, and say that:
From a fear of freezing standpoint, you're OK with H2O and WW.
From a fear of boiling standpoint, you're possibly OK as well. (although the SC generates a lot of extra heat, the increased heat capacity of H2O vs 50:50 will probably compensate.)
Now for corrosion resistance and lubrication, you will have to do research before you commit to throwing your coolant out.
And I would flush often if you're going this route. at least twice a year.
