Default Nitro effect on temperature?

It is obvious that highr nitro in a four stroke engine provides better performance, but how does the higher nitro content affect the engine and exhaust temperature? I assume, that with better performance, the temp is hotter, but was just wondering whether or not it is a significant differance.

The reason I ask is that I have heard my Enya 155r will run well on 0% nitro. They just don't seem to be very picky about fuel. But it doesn't have quite as much performance. If it will run cooler, and have a lower temp to prevent damaging my homemade exhaust, then I'd like to stick with it. I just don't want to fry my exhaust with high nitro fuel.
