1. Dry Ice is frozen carbon dioxide, not nitrogen.
2. NOS (nitrous oxide- NO2) doesn't cool charge air- it makes it much more combustible. That's where the power comes from.

Some friends and I came up with this idea:

Reroute the freon from the a/c to a tube that spirals around the intake tube. Before each race, run the a/c for like 5 minutes. Voila! A chilled intake. Then just before the race begins, turn the a/c off so you don't suffer from the associated parasitic drag.
