PMI - Poor Man's Intercooler
In an attempt to extract as much free horsepower as possible, I have run an air-to-water system through the Upper Collector (intake manifold) using the factory washer pump.
Along with the Manifold Bypass Mod, this should be good for a few ponies.
Details and pics are here:

Enjoy.

I don't think a small reservoir of ice water will absorb much energy before it melts, except maybe for drag racing. You might be able to do better with decompressing CO2 as long as it doesn't get sucked into your engine. Here's a product that does just that:

As resourceful as you are, I'm sure you could make one much cheaper.
How long until the ice melts when you use it? Also, if it's really effective I bet you could detect it from ODBII MAF readings. (The chilling of air in the plenum will compress the air and cause more warm intake air to be sucked in behind it through the MAF sensor.)

It was primarily conceived for racing, yes. The full-time mod is this one: http://www.g35driver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49465
This Manifold Bypass prevents hot coolant from turning your intake into an "interHEATER" of sorts.
Thanks for the comments.

You might like this, since your "that" kind of guy, looking for extra ponies.
I designed and fabricated a HomeGrown CAI which was a hybrid between Stillen/JWT intakes. Uses off the shelf PVC plumbing, conical filter w/small inverted cone at top, Rubbermaid clear bin to keep the filter sealed from engine bay heat, Metal sound-dampening material for extra heat protection, and a custom made intake cowl and deflector made from the plastic of a Rubbermaid office trash can. Total cost $75...growl and extra pickup from the motor...priceless.
