In general (warning..incoming 'rule of thumb') for every 10degF reduction in intake charge temperature, you get ~ 1% increase in output
(again, rough rule of thumb).
Cooling the intake charge can be accomplished with:
"Cold Air Kits"
"Intercoolers"
"Water Spray into Carb"....really, albeit distilled water
As for 'running smoother', I'm not really sure. Oil viscosity will be a bit thicker prior to operating temps, so it might sound a bit quieter (re: intermediate shaft).
For a much more professional and detailed opinion, I would suggest sending a PM to 'Kevin'.

Everything else being equal, the colder the air, the more dense it is. Higher density means more O2 per unit volume. More O2 means more gas and more power.
