How much does Icing down the intake help your 1/4ET? I was wondering if next time I should ice down the intake at the track? I was thinking about icing it after a run then running it. Would that help my 1/4ET I have seen some magazine's that say it does.

I don't think he meant the actual engine intake, but the lid. I ice mine down to cool down the lid so my IATs are not affected. I have noticed a difference by doing this.

The LS1/LS6 intake manifold is composite therefore it doesn't have heatsoak issues. I ice down my blower, but never did my LS1. It actually liked being hot lapped.
