whoever told you short rams dont make power is lying to you, dynos can not measure the ram air effect which short rams rely on to make power(basically you need to be moving in order to make power), the closest thing you can get to the ram air effect is dynoing with the hood open which still doesnt compare imo

yes cold air is better in everyway, im not debating that but short rams do make power, just not as much as cold air intakes do
