think about it... the air is coming in faster at 70mph so its colder. so they're allocating or "catching" more of that colder air in volume to bring into the intake (instead of drafting up to your windshield and over the car) and down into the engine... Then when colder air is compressed, it's thicker (more dense) so it produces more power in the cylinder during combustion.

it makes perfect sense to me at least
