Either way, the key is to make sure you're spraying enough fuel to compensate, and to not use such a big shot that your bottom end wrecks itself.

Yes intake temperate does drop (because it's an expanding gas) but burn temperature is higher due to the highly oxygenated atmosphere and additional fuel burn.
It's usually not a problem as you're only doing this for a few seconds at a time typically.
