Theorecticly yeh but as you say realisticly not relly. At least not once the engine is warmed up and running at a normal operating temp. Starting can be effeted by low intake charge temp (eg carb iceing) and so can economy but this is easly overcome by having a on/off switch for the system (or even a heater mode as i suggested)
Ive seen this done before for drag racing but using dry ice (maybe even LiquidN2?) insted of a pelt. it works well but obviously isnt sustainible as the dry ice evaporates quickly.
The same effect can be had by nitros oxide injection as alot of the power increse you get with N2O attualy comes from the cooler intake temps aswell as the exctra oxygen.
