In order to make more power, you have to burn more fuel. Period. The end. Heat = power, to make more heat requires more fuel. A cold air intake does that by allowing a denser charge - that is to say, MORE in terms of raw mass - of air into the cylinder.
I think the anemometer on your hood, just upstream of the windshield, isn't the best place for it. On the roof of the car, about 2/3 the way back, would probably be as true an airspeed indicator as you're going to get.
