Cold air is denser than warm air. i.e. there are more oxygen molecules in a
give volume of air when cold than when warm.

Too cold?, I don't know. Your pcm might command a rich mixture if it stays
too cold I guess.

Also air resistance tends to be less in the cold because the humidity goes
down. Less wind resistance feels like more HP.

This is a bid of a physics question I think, why is colder air good for
engines and can the air be too cold, is there an optimum temp.
