Cool idea, but...
- You'd have to have a sealed pipe through your chiller (dry ice) chamber, so the O2 content in combustion wasn't reduced by the evaporating CO2.
- The intake air is coming in to quickly to cool enough through the length of cold pipe to make a difference.

A cryogenic chiller would be fun, but methinks it would drain more power than it would add.

What about a sleeve around the entire length of the intake pipe, cooled by some compressed gas? Small weight addition, no power drain, maybe a bit of a hazard in case of a wreck...
