If you take the time to do all the calculations, you will find that it takes much more horsepower to run that A/C compressor than you would get in return. I recall seeing a rather lengthy discussion about this on the Ranger forum and someone spent the time to do all the calculations and posted. Net loss in wheel HP.
Truthfully, though, noone there bothered to go through the trouble of trying it and doing before/after dynos. I'm sure we could all learn something if you want to do the work...

Dry ice doesn't last too long, and consumes oxygen if I remember right, so you'd prolly still slow yourself down.

What about nitrous? You could have it wrap around the tube. I know that nitrous often has a cooling effect. That would be the most expensive CAI ever.
