would E15 have any cooling effect at all without forcing a re-tune?

If you are tuned to the max that your fuel system can support right now via datalogging, adding additional E will effect your fuel pressure in a negative fashion... ask Brad about my datalogs..

And E10 vs E15 cooling is probably not much advantage...

I really wish I had some access to e85 so I could experiment with some ethanol mixtures.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!
