Default got a question about cold weather and cold air intakes

Sorry, I did a search and I couldn't find an answer to my question...

Hello to everyone. Cold air intakes increase your hp, so what happens if it's already cold outside? Will you get even more hp? And if you don't have a cold air intake, will the cold weather still give you more hp because there is already cold air going into your engine?

Agreed.

The colder the air charge going into your motor, the more power the motor will make.

slightly off topic
i always though "flipping the lid" and removing all the airways on my carburated vehicles was going to be an awesome gain, but then i realized that in the summer all of the hot air off the manifolds and the engine itself just rises straight into my intake then... sad.
