I am hoping to get my Fist to the track her in the Fall once I can drive again (Injury). I have seen a fair bit about temps being an issue so I will have to figure something out for that and probably the brakes as well. I do have an E85 station about an hour away so I could run down and fill up my gas cans with it and mix in and get it tuned for E40. I was wondering if anyone had any feedback as to weather that would help out with the overheating issues since a E40 tune should run a little cooler. I don't really want to drop in a huge radiator if I can manage with a stage 2 E40 tune and maybe a diy oil cooler setup.

In theory it should help, in practice you will still need oil cooler (<70F ambient days) and bigger radiator (>70F ambient days).

Yeah, it should cool the charge and help with detonation. But I wouldn't expect help with oil or coolant temps.
