what about condensation. cold water in a hot engine bay=water/sweat. water in intake=no good. if im understanding your idea straight, i dont think the air would be in your refridgerator long enough to drop temps.
ive heard of people filling coffee cans with ice and running about 30 yds of metal line wrapped up in the can with the ends of the metal tubing splicing into the gas lines. just another idea for your cheap mans mods
tell us how your experiments go if you do it.

good idea. i might try the tiny hole in the bottom.. that just saved me bout $70. Thanks!
and gas that is cooler works better doesnt it??
i was thinking bout the condensation a while ago, kindof discouraging but im goin to try it.

tiny hole in the bottom won't help at the track, let them see you dripping as you pull up and you'll be kicked out as fast as your truck will go. the air moving thru wouldn't be too exessive for condensation, I'd think that it'd get dissolved in the air as fast as it could condensate. interesting experiment and probably a waste of time, but if you have nothing better to do go for, you may learn something in the process.

ive never put my truck on a track. 1/8 mile track that is kindof close but $35 to race. and there is one in canton but dont know where it is. there is a 1/4 mile track in hattisburg (hubcity?) dont know how much it is to race but its too far to drive.
but if i were to go to a track i would have the hole threaded so i could plug it if need be?
im still thinking..
im making a ramair setup for my friends eclispe. well im goin to try to.
ill keep you guys updated on my stupid idea.
hopefully it will work?
