Dry Ice is nothing more than compressed Carbon Dioxide. Putting that into your intake will remove all of the oxygen you are trying to put into the engine. Putting it around the intake would help a little, but ultimately hurt you unless your fuel curve is set for such a low air temperature. Some racers put it around the fuel lines to help keep the chamber temp down a little.
