co2 cooling EGT's?

I was talking to a guy who uses a nitrous oxide spray tube in front of his aftercooler to get that air temp down. now, he is using it on a gasser drag car.
My idea: how bout a spray tube with co2 in front of an aftercooler on a diesel. My son did some leg work and can get co2 considerably cheaper then NOS. It's not as cool at NOS though. About -20.
Anyone ever tried this? If this works, it will be very cool.

It would cool it, but it may displace the oxygen around the engine and filter and you may not get enough air for the engine. Alot of people use No2 for this though.

I have a hard time believing it would displace the oxygen since the engine compartment is not air tight. Good advise though. We're going to give it a try.
Anyone else heard of this?

there is a guy that I talked to before that had a 03 mustang cobra with the supercharger. He used this setup and on the dyno it gave in another 45hp. I actually saw the dyno sheet. He actually used bladders around the cold pipe and in the intercooler that when charged filled with co2 and cooled the pipes down. I thought of it, it is a good idea.
