Default Cold weather and CAIs

For those with a CAI most can see a slight improvement in acceleration in normal weather, whatever that is, but is there any significant improvement when the weather gets down to like 30 or 40 degrees and you start dipping into the throttle. If there was im sure it wouldnt be anything noticeable, but would you expect to see like 3 or 4 more HP. Might there be a certain temp at which the car is no longer getting an improvemnt. Just wondering because my car feels like it has a little bit better throttle response.

the denser the air the more air for combustion.

Dad used to wrap his CAI in an Ice pack for the dragstrip. Seemed to work pretty well too

that is true colder air is denser . down here in south texas we dont get much cold weather so when it does hit around the 40's you'll see all types of tuners and muscles out all night!
