Im assuming you're talking of throwing it on top of the motor.

I put ice in the intercooler reservoir, and another bag on top of the blower.

Cobra guys will jump the wire to the intercooler pump to run while the car is off, I'm sure you could do the same, just have to find which connections/relay. 2 things though, don't kill your battery or have a back up and don't forget to put coolant back in during the winter.
I could load up with ice before a run, go through the staging lanes with the car off as much as possible, then make one pass and the water would already be warm/hot. Just from icing it down though you could tell the car ran much better. If you can find a "bag your own ice" station, it'll become a good friend!
