Actually, it drops intake charge temperature, and the only very noticeable effect is increased cylinder pressures (which is the thing you need to worry about). Particularly, using such a big shot to just blow a rod through the block. Burning a piston/piston ring can happen too of course. Either way, the key is to make sure you're spraying enough fuel to compensate, and to not use such a big shot that your bottom end wrecks itself.
