Default Cold Weather = More Horsepower but how much more ?

As we know, colder temp's gives extra horsepower and this is especially so in forced induction engines, but how much more power ?, has anyone done dyno tests on this ?.

So late last night I was out in my SC FPV and it got down to 4 degrees celcius on the temperature guage and I decided to give it a bit of a go to see how she goes in the colder temps and OMG what a difference
I know with colder temps the tyres are colder too so there was less traction but the bloody thing was almost uncontrollable at full throttle This got me wondering how much extra power is there at say 4 degress compared to 24 degrees celcius ?
Thoughts ?
