Actual affects of icing intake/cooled car?

[V6PowerStang]

i let the car sit for an hour before i ran her and iced her down during that time. i'm usually trapping 67-68 mph in the 1/8th, but with that first run with a crappy launch, i trapped 71.5 mph. :eek: the next run was a high 68, and then i was back to 67's.

was this some freak occurence, or does icing the intake/letting the car cool down really help THAT much? :confused:

if you have an aluminum intake, which yours should, then it should help. my car on the other hand seems to trap more mph when it's more or less hotlapped. when i let it sit for a while or try to ice the plastic intake it drops about 2 mph.

I dropped 2 tenths off my time by icing it.
