      By far the best method I've tried for a more efficient combustion chamber temp as well as increasing power is to allow the fuel to get heated but not over 212 degrees and maintain high pressure and combine that with a very cool air charge. This creates a more vaporous (which is what we all want, right?) mixture which burns much more completely with a lot less hydrocarbons. More of it has to do with thermodynamic efficiency and I have had a lot of success with alternative combustion methods-it has less to do with the overall temperature of the engine and more to do with the temperature of the combustion chamber itself as combustion occurs. I focus on the air charge quality/temperature and the engine temp takes care of itself, providing you don't have any mechanical problems. Are you running a high volume water pump? It could be you are moving coolant too fast thus not allowing enough time for heat transfer through the radiator via your cooling fan.....just a thought.
