Cold weather equals more power

Last couple cars I had were turbo and supercharged and excessive heat (it gets friggen hot here in Phoenix) and colder weather definitely impacted the power the engine produces by quit a bit. Last night I was out driving the Box and the temps were in the low 40s and it definitely had a little extra kick especially above 5,000 rpms. Butt dyno was saying a good 5 to 10 hp. The last NA car I had was a 89 C4 and it definitely did not get the extra kick the Box seems to have. Have any of you experienced this? Cool dense air makes a difference but just did not expect it to be really noticeable. I assume the on board computer has ability to take advantage of the cooler air.
