Maybe, but the air an engine usually gets is only 30% oxygen, if you feed
100% oxygen into that engine your gonna have a problem, because as you say
it increases burn rate and temp so either your gonna get to much
combustion and cause a piston or something to break or it's gonna
overheat, either way it won't be good for the engine.
