Does anyone have a Dry Ice Induction System on their S2000, or know of anyone who does? If you do, did it seem to make any difference. It seems like it might be a good idea in theory.

It looks like it's just a box around the intake tube. That should be easy enough to do on your own. Who knows, it may help...

 

Seems like a lot of work for street driving - might be useful for drags. I also wonder what the heat exchange efficacy is - how many degrees can it drop from ambient?

Ford has developed a much "cooler" approach in terms of practicality. For their SC'd F150, and perhaps later on the 2006 Cobra, they will divert some of the A/C coolant at WOT, allowing for a bit more spark advance and fuel metering to keep power up for a few seconds. In those vehicles, a few secs are all that is needed. Then the system re-accumulates its cool, so it stays armed and ready to go.

Handling solid CO2 is cumbersome and you need gloves - but the design in your link does not appear to have a very sophisticated mechanical heat exchange design - no fins or heat sinks (used in reverse) to optimally capture the cold, and effectively exchange it into the intake charge. Maybe they could hook up The Tornado.

 

In theory it might be feasible but the unit in question looks rather small - probably too small to have much effect on the air temperature at WOT.

 

That's a nice touch after the complete seriousness of the first part of the post. I spit my drink all over the monitor.
