Is this where global warming comes from? I assume that last 90 degrees is 90 HP.

Anybody have an idea of how much more HP an engine has running in 80 degree weather than when its 30?
That's why everyone else here has jumped onto something called Cold Air Intake.

Well, if your car is totally warmed up in the cold weather, it absolutely pulls harder. Cold air = more oxygen = richer mix = more power.
