Not that I know of...but I haven't seen the setup yet. Good point, though.
I'll ask at SEMA. I was thinking of going from the ducts too but discovered
the evaporator under your dash is just not powerful enough.

I too have thought about doing something like this in the past, just
to mess around with it, but I was planning to do something like just
re-direct the cold air from the ductwork to the throttle body. It was
just one of those no priority items in the back of my brain somewhere
so I never actally thought a lot about it, but one thing I did consider
was having your A/C on will cause condensation to drip out the bottom
of the vehicle. This is a major no-no at the strip, and can get you
booted out of the lanes if the starting personel notice it. Have they
incorporated some sort of catch can to solve this problem?
