methanol allow you to add more boost and/or timing becuase it lowers the IATs. It can also help out if your injector duty cycle is too high.

it will let you run quite a bit more boost than pump fuel alone as long as your compresor has more flow avaliable.

i gained just a little power adding the meth. my guess would be 20hp or so. then pulled some fuel to get it back to 11.5/1 and with that i gained a little more. maybe another 20hp. the big gains are with added boost. i was able to add 200rwhp total once i turned up the boost.

dammit, I forgot about the octane boost. Ive been researching it lately cause Im sure it will find its way on my truck before long. Got to wait til I can afford a tranny before I add too much more power.

every set up will be diferent. i was able to add 5psi. i went from 11psi max before KR up to 16psi with the meth. tuning will be required to get the maximum benifits.

Does the meth injector need to be before or after the MAF? My MAF is about 3 in. from the TB.
