Where can I get dry ice?

This is for a school project. My school is in Rancho, so the closer to there, the better. And is this stuff expensive?

Ralphs has it, at about $1.50/lb. It's locked usually at the front of the store.

LOL

We're dyno-ing our 350 we built. Our engine is only 7 hp off the school record right now @371 without nitrous, and I want to beat it. From our current mods, any changes have lowered hp. We're going to try some dry ice on the carb to see if we can hopefully bump out a few extra ponies.

I had a feeling that you would say that. You need to cool the fuel thru the fuel lines (you need an ice pack), not the carb.

Very good advice wackyracer. I will experiment with the fuel temps also. The idea of putting ice on the carb though, was to cool the incoming air.
