Thats about like mine starts warm at the moment. Mine may be actually a little worse. The new IPR o rings will likely take care of it.

45 at idle isn't all that bad IMHO. Closer to 60 is of course better. I've never been a fan of the BB trick. But is a quick band-aid. You could just order the Cali spring kit from Ford.

Check both FPR screens. Yours should have a removable black plastic fella hanging down from the FPR. There is a cleanable screen in there Also the screen to the return line to the tanks. In the fuel bowl at about one o'clock.

Did you try to see how it runs with the ICP unpluged. Maybe that was mentioned above, I don't remember.
