Cooler air is denser, and thus, one can gain even more horsies, because more fuel can be delivered as well.

This works in practice with compressed air, but probably has a negligible affect in the combustion chamber with a normally aspirated system.

Had a Chrysler Conquest with an intercooled turbo as well. Interesting to note is that I drove it mainly while in Colorado, and the thinner air prevented me to see boost pressures over 1 psi.

Once back in Texas, I could max throttle at 7 psi. boost. That car really screamed!!!
