Dry ice is the coldest thing you can use easily. I'd make sure the gas doesn't begin to gell up if you can get it all to that temp. Even if it's ok and you can get it to the engine before it warms up, it might be cold enough to condense water vapor out of the air when it mixes. Also, anything that cold isn't going to vaporize well. If it warms up enough to vaporize well, then you really haven't gained anything by cooling it. All you got is a cold fuel line. What are you trying to accomplish by doing this? If you are trying to remove heat from the combustion reaction to lower NOx or reduce detonation, water injection will do a much better job. Nothing absorbs heat like water.
