Icing the intake? Does or has anyone iced their intakes at the dragstrip between passes, or to eek out that last tenth or fraction of a tenth?
I know it usually helps the 5.0 Mustangs and others, but haven't ever seen mention of it here.

the intake gets hot after a pass, but cools down very quickly if you open your hood and there is no direct sun on it.
i honestly think its a totally useless thing to do on a car with a plastic intake.

Alum block and heads vs a iron block and iron heads will show the difference when you start to hot lap the car. Alum has a faster rate of heating and cooling. I don't see much difference either when/if I hot lap. -Mark
