What's wrong with redline water wetter? In racie cars, seems that it will increase heat absorption and disbursement pretty well.

Welcome to the club, cooling appears to always be the first item of business.   I can not quantify the differences those changes you propose would make.
 
However, a 50/50 coolant mixture has a 40% lower specific heat than pure water alone.  Meaning it will not carry as much heat away at the same coolant temperature.  Would pure water give you 40% more cooling - I personally doubt it, would it help, I believe it certainly would.
