Usually the denser cooler air will require more fuel and the ECU will react in turn by probably bumping up the timing slightly as well. That's why very likely Shark will get some power out of this as well, esp if he's running ethanol as that's combustable as well vs water which cools the intake charge but takes up compression space and is inert. So it shouldn't be the same amount of energy being released.
