Default A2A and A2W inline setup

So I have been throwing up converting to an A2W setup but as A2a is better for street I was hesitant.

Then I thought an A2W doesn't add a heap more pipe length that would affect lag so...

Can you install an A2W inline with an A2A, thoughts being you don't need to ensure its always topped up but when at track you can fill it so it's working as if should be and an added bendy I guess would be a double cooling off the air.

Am I dreaming, stupid, or just impractical?

I ran an A/W once just for street use, lots of factory cars do anyway.
I built a tank, used a pump, and a heat exchanger in front of the radiator.
I used water, and had the pump come on in boost-at the track I used ice.
On the street, your not really hitting boost for a long distance (well, who
knows, lol)
Using both, prob would experience more restriction, but if there were none, an A/A first would prob reduce ice melting-lot of plumbing.

Not practical I just pulled and a2w out and lost 85lbs from the car A good quality core a2a for a driver is more than plenty. Plus it's kind of a chore to bring ice with you. I did it all last season and your always concerned about having enough, where to get it, where to store it, and ideally having someone put the ice in for you just at the starting line

Dedicated track car, a2w. Street car, a2a, quality core
