higher nitro content will actaully make your engine cooler if tuned properly.
If this is so, then why do you need a cooler plug and head shims which reduce compression to stop detonation/pre-ignition which worsens with higher temperatures?
you sometimes need head shims cause the higher nitro level increases power and compression. it does infact make you engine run cooler, if you dont believe me go ask the pros. i leard about it here on rcu by a big article about nitro fuel. more nitro also increases power because it is more flamible and you can lean it out with out higher tempatures. go ask nitroaddic, if he's still around. i havent saw him post lately.
