Turbofan/Turbojet thrust increases with reduced Compressor inlet temperature, as more work can be done with greater heat input into the compressed airflow. the limiting factor of course being Tmax experienced by the turbine blades (Turbine inlet Temp), which is set by the material they are made of. More thrust=Greater climb performance.
