Most people that are familiar with e85 should know how well it cooling agents are, and how hight the octane is but i guess it would not hurt maybe this summer ill add meth aswell. bring my octane up to 116+

Fuel doesn't spray until the end of the intake manifold just before the cylinders, so it has no
effect on IATs as measured by the temp sensor in manifold. Fuel can be used to cool the in cylinder temps, but that is somewhat different from the intake air.
In this case, the E85 is a higher octane (less detonation and cooler/more even burning) fuel so cylinder combustion temperatures are lower. This means slightly less exhaust energy, but the timing gains more than make up for that.
