That's why NOS makes power. It is very cold and when it is combined with air, fuel and spark it makes a very big explosion.
when Nitrous Oxide is heated up inside the engine under combustion, it breaks down into nitrogen and oxygen. This additional oxygen allows you to feed in more fuel, for more power.

so the power of NOS comes mainly from the additional oxygen it carries, and less on its cooling effect.
