Methanol Injection...
#11
Just bolting on the kit and not tuning it can actually decrease your power as the increased fuel you're injecting will cause it to run rich.

It sounds like you're worried about the amount of power your stock motor can handle, If you don't want more power, I wouldn't go through the trouble of installing Methanol. A non intercooled V1 with a 3.6" pulley is going to be pushing 6-8psi of boost which will put you around 360hp at the crank, people have pushed the stock motors much futher than that.

If you have the car dyno tuned without meth and say you make 360 at the wheels, that will most likely be under ideal conditions with low intake temps. Now, when you hit the streets or strip your intake temps will be insanely higher. Meaning you will be loosing timing and power! You can keep your timing where it is with meth if you are affraid of the power (you shouldn't be) and simply tune the fuel part of the tune mainly for the meth. That way you still get the cooling effect.
Tuning the car and then putting the meth on without tuning again will result in the tune becoming rich. which is why you must tune for the meth. I honestly feel if you don't go either meth on IC you will regret it. It takes only sitting at a red light or in the staging lanes a couple of minutes and then the intake temps are going to rise. Then when you go WOT they will rise more.
If you have meth in this case as soon as you go WOT you will start injecting the meth and dropping your intake temps so the car will run safer and make more power/closer to the dynoed power.

IMHO I would only use meth injection as a cooling function. If you use it as an octane booster you are asking for trouble if your nozzle plugs up or you run out of meth your motor is shot.
