I have a Heads and Cam LSx with about 11.1:1 static compression. It is tuned very mildly regarding timing, about 18 degrees total, and needs about 93 octane to run without knocking under heavy load and hotter ambient tempratures. I was thinking maybe an oil cooler would help the situation (more timing or lower octane fuel) by lowering the combustion chamber temperatures.

I'm I thinking correctly? Can cooling the oil make much of a difference in combustion chamber temps?
