So cavitation will be reduced by higher viscosity, but the vacuum will be increased on the inlet side due to increased friction losses. I think the question is which of the two effects is stronger. I think it doesn't matter either way, increasing the diameter of the inlet to accommodate the viscosity that will work best for the engine is what's important.
