There is no need to run meth full time. You can use the MAF or a MAP sensor to trigger it during boost. For setups that can run multiple computer maps, you can use a tune that is triggered by the Meth, as in the case of my fathers 335i. Meth has far more benefits to an engine than N2o does, and is far more forgiving. Bang for the buck, Nitrous may be the way to go, but involves more plumbing and security precautions for both the engine and the purge/pressure release system. In terms of ease of use and wear and tear, Methanol seems to be the way to go.
Have you run a methanol or nitrous system? In another post you made the comment about hating when people just recycle things they've read, yet you've offered nothing in the way of experience. I'm not saying you have none, but am just curious as to what it is since you seem very intent on me running N2o.
Perhaps I should be more clear. I have NO intent of running nitrous on this vehicle. I have run it before on a smallblock Corvette, and it ran great. We enjoyed it, it worked well, however I have no interest in that setup on my Saleen.

The point I'm trying to convey is that like Nitrous, you do not have to run Meth full time. In fact, the way most systems are designed on forced induction setups, you are only using Methanol when you're into boost. On an application such as mine, I am only in boost at WOT, hence meth would only be sprayed during that time period.
A 49/51 mix is recommended because it makes the methanol inflammable at that point. It really depends on your setup as to what amount of methanol you're going to run. Superchargers tend to favor more water than a turbocharged car.
