you take fuel out to get the AFR correct, but most add some timing with meth to get extra power

Yep. Methanol gives you a higher effective octane rating so you can run more timing. That's mostly a separate issue from the fueling...so basically you'd pull fuel and add timing both.

With water / meth injection the more water content the leaner your wideband will read. It seems to be around 50/50 that they balance each other out and the wideband won't be affected much.

well you would need to keep the same % that you tune with. Im going to be running either 100% meth or maybe 80/20. Its much easier to run 100% IMO but can get spendy depending how much your spraying

you dont want to tune the truck for 100% meth then run 50/50 as it would throw it off

What meth kit do you guys have ?

Don't try running straight meth thru kits that aren't designed for it .
You'll have leaks eventulaly .

does it matter which one first . being a nos tuner i know 1deg or 2deg with lean out nitrous a whole lot . i was just wondering example a/f ratio 11.0 add meth then goes fat 10.0 to add timing first before taking out fuel.

all depends on how much you spray. under 10gph will genearlly make it go 1 point rich but that also depends on what % you are spraying to

Im running snow stage 3 kit

i run 17gph, 14 psi, 16 degrees timing. i just want it daily driver safe. just decrease fuel relative to how much you're spraying, and increase timing
