Has anyone tried putting a brick of dry ice in the airbox next to the filter?

You want to put the dry ice ON the airbox. (Intake manifold as well.)

Well, the computer would read the extra oxygen (unmetered by MAP) as a lean condition, and adjust the fuel trim to accommodate. It would overcompensate and dump fuel into the cylinders, and the overly rich AFR would cool the combustion chamber. So, if his goal was to cool the incoming air and/or the engine, the dry ice mod would work.
I've also read great things about the Tornado airbox mod, as seen on TV. It would help counter the shitty fuel mileage caused by the unnecessarily rich air/fuel mixture.
