Yea definatly.. Its because the morning is usually cooler and cooler air is more dense. More dense air means more O2 (oxygen) per given area. The more O2 you have in the engine, the larger the explosion, the larger the explosion, the faster the car 
Its great, I love those cool mornings or those cool autumn afternoons where a car will just scream!

Realistically speaking, you are correct that it definitely would affect both NA and FI cars the same, but for some reason, it feels more apparent to me w/ my Kompressor.

NA = Cool>>>>>>>Hot
FI = Cool>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Hot
It's just the nature of FI engines...

Now if you meant to say .... wrap it around the intercooler then I would certainly agree.

I wouldnt go pumping pure Oxygen into a car. Also known as LOX (liquid oxygen). It would destroy the engine in seconds but man would it do some serious cranking.

For me it's a lot faster in the morning, for example, I can get to work in 25-30 minutes in the morning but in the afternoon traffic it can take 35-40 minutes. I don't think dry ice would help though.

Yeah, the car felt more alive as I ramped her up to 110mph last night (temp was about 55 degrees). What a rush!!! And I consider myself a slow driver ( 
@80mph tops regularly) compared to some of you guys.
