Default Methanol Injection ? Good Idea Bad Idea

Whats goin on? I have been researching methanol injection setups and it seems pretty efficient. Have any of you guys out there used this yet? I have a 2004 Joe Gibbs truck with the 4.8 and magnuson-radix supercharger. What kind of benefits have you seen with this setup and was the power increase noticeable? Please let me know before I spend money on this. Thanks alot guys!

Probably more than half of the FI guys here are running Meth. Meth does not give any added power but rather increases the octane of your pump fuel and allows more timing, which equals more power. It also cools a little.

If you are approaching 9 lbs it might be a good mod. AlkyControl is the number 1 favorite for quality and service.
