Cold air and fuel make more power.

Ok, before someone else states it---engines make more power at 200 to 220 degrees. But, that is a racing engine. What you need is to have enough temp to get the oil up to about 180 to 200 degrees so that all the water vapor is steamed out.

If your wondering, the car will run richer at a cooler temp than what the ECM is tuned for thinking the car hasn't reached operating temp.
