In my personal opinion, yes. Your engine is designed to run at a certain temperature, that being 180-190 degrees. If you take it out of that range the odds of the ECU adding unneeded fuel and even pulling timing are very good. Cooler is not always better when you are talking about the engine itself. Sure you want the intake charge to be cool, but not the engine.

This can be seen a lot on dynos. First pull will make 200 lets say, second pull will make 210. The engine is warmer, the tolerances are tighter...the efficiency is at its "best".
