These two values are nowhere even close.

Nice try on trying to sound smart, though.
0 K is the coldest anything can get under any pressure you want. Scientists today still haven't managed to get ANYTHING down to 0 K. At 0K molecules stop moving...What will happen when they stop moving..who knows, but if molecules stop completely that is amazing. I can't wait til they actually gert something to 0K. It will be an amazing thing to see. Dry ice doesn't even burn you're skin that badly. Liquid nitrogen, on the other hand....wow that would completely fry the skin it touches.

AKA, absolute zero

But like evilaviator said, the idea of using dry ice on the intake pipe is not new, and its benefits are proven to exist. How much depends on the performance of the vehicle in its original condition. All this arguing and techno-bable about molecules that stop moving is symantics.
