From my undersranding meth mainly brings more octain to the cylinder+ cooling

E85 has all the octain u need if ur lookin into better cooling look into NOS. I think nos is more effective than meth for cooling.

meth cools the blower, raises your octane. so does e85 (raises octane)

both limit knock, allowing for more of a zero ***** given tune

you can run both and you will get gains.

But its easy to change a 10$ fitting and pop the engine is its not set up for it. Ask me how i know.

A 50 to 75 shot is perfict for these cars..might be a lil hard on the stock rings. I always just ran it a lil rich with my nos tune to be safe.

To answer your question, OP...I believe it is somewhat pointless. I'm on e85 and run a really aggressive timing map with no knock. I don't see any need to run meth for any more added octane, the only possible benefit is for cooling purposes and with that you don't even need meth, just water injection.

you are wrong to a point you need to run meth with the water or the engine has a little problem ingesting it and anytime you cool down the intake charge you will make power

I would think spraying a 5gph or less nozzle would result in the water immediately vaporizing, but I suppose throwing a bit of HEET into the mixture wouldn't hurt.
