Pack of ice on turbo/intake mani = better 1/4?

My mercedes mechanic from 10 years ago used to race in the 60's and he said a lot of the racers back then would use Dry ice in their air cleaners, they would have to have a specially fabbed tray for it though. It was placed directly inside the air cleaner by the air horn so it would be drawn in with the intake air but not impede the normal flow.
Im not sure how you could get that to work unless you had a box with the dry ice mounted at the initial intake in front of the air cleaner. Dry ice lasts for hours and would work much better than normal ice.
Let us know if you use it and the results.
