Default Where to put the ice?

On a different post i read that if you ice down your engine it's good for a tenth or two. But where exactly do you put the ice bags?

When I used it, I put mine on the throttle body and remainder on top of the air lid. The intake is impervious to heat. Cheers......

In your cooler to keep your pop cold.
I have found that there is no difference in my ET as long as I don't let the car sit and idle.
I've made 4 passes in a row within 12-15 minutes with no slowing due to heat. As a matter of fact if there is a slow run it's always the first one. Plastic manifolds &TB coolant bypass rocks.

Makes no difference, by the time you roll up and do a burnout you'll already have heated it up quite a bit.

I agree, on these cars it's a waste of beer chillin' ice.
