The rest of the time during winter temps outside are generally lows of 20 or so. Daytime highs in the 30's and the shed never goes below 32 without suppliment heating.
So with that all said...No I am looking to blast it warm enough to work while I am out there...then it will probably be fine otherwise.. Do I still need such a large one? I was thinking if I got a 10degree rise I would only need 83,000 btu

Yeah, I think you would be okay at about 80,000 Btu in that case. It really depends on how warm you want to be and really how the building is constructed. My garage is 1,900 sq/ft and I have a carrier mvc80 which has an output of about 76,800btu. It's very efficient and heats the garage very evenly.
