Would it be good to use a air cooled and water cooled system together? The reason I say this is because water cooled portion will bring the temp up quickly and regulate the temp. The air cooled system would be an additional radiator for cooling.

Am I totally off base here?
Why over complicate matters. Depending on your driving habits, you don't necessarily "need" either one for street use. The track or track like conditions has already proven the air cooled units to be effective depending on the unit and purpose. Some are in fact too effective, in which case a thermal plate is required to prevent over cooling. Using both is kind of like using steamroller to hammer in a nail.
