      this isnt very money efficient more than likely. this is just about as smart and my buddys idea to hook a duct from his a/c to his intake, so he would have a cold super charger. LMFAO, stupid wheeler.

          You guys are looking at this all wrong, its not meant for you to keep it full of ice all the time, its meant for when ur at the track, to lower your intake temps. It's not all that dumb. I think most of you have been out at Sabin, haven’t you ever seen a domestic with a bag of ice sittin on the manifold? It’s an old drag racing technique used for many years, alot of professional drag racers do it. No it’s not gonna move you into the 12's but every little bit helps.

                  I don’t even think that the domestic guys that put just ice on their cars purchase that at the track. Common sense would help here. :rolleyes:

                    Common sense would help here.... where can you buy dry ice? I'm asking an honest question. Is it available in Fargo? Is it even legal to have by the normal person. These are all serious questions.

                      Oh sorry, I thought you were just...whatever. I know you can get dry ice in town. I think Menards has it, but I know other places have it as well. I have bought it before in town.

                        If you are going to have to recharge or refill your cold air intake all the time I would have to think that a smart person would realize you might as well be using nitrous and making hp.

                          DJ Im glad someone here isnt a fool who speaks of things they dont know about.

                          Chilling the intake is something that has been around for a long time.

                          Its not something for driving around all the time with, its for drag racing pure and simple. Mainly used on full on drag cars making high hp.

                          You can use regular ice if you want.

                          You can get dry ice at just about any grocery store and some hardware stores.

                          You throw some in a cooler so you have extra ice for the additional runs.

                          Any other experts got a reason for why its a stupid idea?

                            yeah i do...on an NA 4cyl car how much difference is it really going to make? the only way it would make a difference is if its really hot outside but then bye bye dry ice...and i dont think its cheap either...if you can get it free then wahoo for you

                            At first I did it for fun, then I realized I made the investment and had to do it!

                                    Did I say anything about using it on the street? Did you read MY post when you quoted it?

                                    and I agree, you are an idiot if you are gonna drive around with a box full of ice under your hood. I am sure it would last a long time sitting next to a 200+ degree block of cast iron....

                                          Actually dry ice isn't as hard to come by as you might think. I used to work in a grocery store and all the frozen goods came packed in dry ice and all we did was thow it away, or make dry ice bombs. You could just ask around at the local grocery stores, it does keep long though. maybe a day.
