Not an LS2 guy but any LS will retard timing in certain conditions. I doubt that's would be one. I think the lights will go an and you may well overheat if they are ignored.

How Hot?

high humidity, high ambient temps and high coolant temps that is too high, will retard timing.

This is why keeping cool, or as best as possible are so important.

That is a bit on the hot side.

Clean out your radiator with a air hose and do this often.
