So yes a performance filter can have the opposite effect.

One key factor with the more air statement is "cold air"

I watch alot and I mean a lot of American mod programs and I cringe every time I see a beautifully modified car with a cone filter added into the engine bay sucking in lots of hot air
You're right, but it's the same thing. Cold air is more dense than hot air, and that's why it matters. If you've got a liter of hot air, it has less oxygen than a liter of cold air. Less oxygen = lower cylinder pressure.
