Default Going Drag racing -Need ice?

I am about to go out on tuesday for the 1st test n tune @ Rt 66 this year. In the past, I have seen guys laying bags of ice on their intake manifold while waiting in the staging lanes, before they race. I have always kept my hood opened between runs, but does ice between races help?

Love the couplers! I had to custom cut them with the hurricane CAI, but it worked out very well! Go to Exteme psi.com and you can find any size and any color you need.
