SAE correction takes care of the 90 degree temps. With E85 the car won't be as affected by higher temps either. Cars that run 100% ethanol or methanol usually don't even run intercoolers.

Have you removed any of the honeycombs yet or hacked the MAS? I was able to make more power than that when I had a 2G MAS and SAFC. If the car is leaning out a lot, the Walbro 255 is possibly maxed. Do the math on when a 255 normally maxes on normal gasoline versus a fuel that requires 30%-35% more fuel flow.
