Using dry ice to improve performance and fuel economy
I'd like to confirm if what my friend said is true. Is it possible that the cooling effect of dry ice will improve engine performance and fuel economy of cars if applied on around a car's engine.

Packing the air box in dry ice is an old drag raceing trick. Just beware of condensation as even very tiny water droplets hitting your turbo fan can ruin your day.
