Dry ice doesn't melt, it sublimates. Sublimation is the process of a solid turning directly into a gas. Melting is the process of a solid becoming a liquid. H2O ice melts, CO2 ice sublimates.
A cool-can will be fine and will do no harm to your engine, but unless you're running some super aggressive timing, compression or boost, it's not going to make any difference at all without significant changes in any of the three aforementioned characteristics. It's physics and chemistry

If you want cooler fuel, add a cooler to your fuel line.. They are available and inexpensive and EASY to install. It's similar to a tranny or oil cooler. Don't put dry ice in-on-or near your gas tank, ok?
