Default RE: Nitro effect on temperature?

If you up the nitro to cause detonation to occur then the temperature will be higher, if the compression is low enough to prevent detonation, and with the correct plug, then high nitro run rich of the highest rpm will have a cooler exhaust. Just as our glow engines have a cooler exhaust than gas engines, but would have less performance if we switched to gas.
