    It sounds like you have this whole thing thought out very well, so I
hestitate to make my meager suggestion.  A friend of mine who owns an Isuzu
Impulse (which has a top-mounted intercooler) has rigged up a device to
spray ice water onto the IC.  There is a switch mounted on the shifter used
to energize the pump when he is deep into the boost; he says there is a
noticeable difference in power when using it (probably due to less pinging),
especially going uphill.
    Obviously this solution doesn't work too well for long-distance driving,
but at the dragstrip or at a hillclimb it seems to be an economical solution
to the low airflow problem.
