fuel cooler?? would it help?? is it true that if i cool down my fuel enough, i can get like a good 15hp? or any power from it at all? i did a search and came up with nothing for fuel coolers, will it also help if i just insulate my fuel lines? or is even worth the effort?

We did this on a race car which is illegal as hell. I don't think you will see gains like a carburated car will. The ECM adjusts things like that to compensate automatically, as a carburated engine doesnt. If you jet the carb a bit bigger to compensate for crappy air, the cold fuel is a nice plus with those big jets.
I'm not saying you won't see a gain, but 15hp is pretty optimistic. Also thats pretty expensive and time consuming HP for small gains.
Also remember cold 116 race fuel reacts a lot different than cold 93 fuel. Tons more oxygen in the race fuel.
If you are dead set on doing it, I would rig something around the fuel tank and slide dry ice in there, thats what we did on the race car. Kinds funny to see snow around the fuel tank on a 90 degree day!!!!

One option, and I don't know how you feel about it because personally I don't care for it, is Nitrous. Nitrous is a cold gas which would do what you want it to do (cool the fuel) and a lot more (tons more oxygen).
Now again, I am not a fan of nitrous, but there may be a lot you would want to do to prepare the engine for that. And that brings us to another cost factor.
