Well,
It's a proven fact that Gas engines make more power the cooler they are...
Allowing the engine to rise to 300 degrees will result in massive amounts
of detonation and require the timing to be retarded to the point you make
very little power.  That's why performance chips also reccomend you add a
cooler thermostat.  Allows them to run more timing/boost (super/turbo
charged engines).  Higher temps will also make the oil lose it's viscosity
faster and contaminate faster.  
Later,
Dave
