REFLECTOR: Replacing low compression pistons for standard compression

I'm thinking of replacing the 7.5:1 pistons in my IO520 with Std 8.5:1 
pistons.

For the obvious reason of gaining 18 HP.

I think somebody mentioned that they thought that the CHT's would drop 
with that change because we are running 100 octane fuel?

Can whoever mentioned that temperature difference elaborate?
