I don't have the scientific aspect but cooler air is more dense and will
allow more oxygen and rest of atmospheric gasses to flow thru due to being
more densely packed. While we were racing and there was a significant
temperature drop we had to go to a larger jet size to keep optimal air fuel
ratio,cooler air more fuel = more power, so small we wont feel it in non
performance rides but in a high performance application you'll feel it just
a bit!

The hotter the intake air, the less dispersed fuel it is capable of
holding. Under normal circumstances I don't suppose we'd notice, but
it could have an effect on performance.
