Default Methanol injection

Anyone running methanol injection? Snow Performance and AEM make relatively inexpensive kits. The install looks easy via drilling a small hole before the MAF for the spray nozzle. Looks very cool, no pun intended. Thoughts/comments/criticisms?

I agree with the others.
Methanol injection is primarily for Diesel or possibly supercharged engines, and not normally used with a normally-aspirated motor. I don't see where it would be beneficial at all, and probably counter-productive.

For "Homecoming" we drilled and tapped a hole in an old Ford's exhaust manifold, ran a tube to it and pumped about a quart of oil into it, smoked up the whole stadium during the parade. One of the Deans explained to us it had "questionable benefits"!

Only works if you have turbos or supercharger motor and running higher than standard boost!!
