Snow -- Close 2nd....
Finally, you may want to look on the Meth forums as there is a ton of information there...

Start your own thread, or better yet do a search. This question comes up over and over again.

Check out 94AWDcoupe's posts in Long term effects of meth/alky on engine. Also, keep in mind that with most of the kits on the market, when the high boost condition ends, the system still continues to inject meth into the intake manifold for a second or so, which may or may not be fully combusted (hence the super rich AFRs that you can see on a wideband when you lift on an alky injected car) and thus potentially can cause the oil contamination problems that 94AWDcoupe saw.

I currently run the SMC kit with 100% denatured alky....reason being it is less corrosive than meth and safer. I have been thinking about switching to meth as I have just sourced some 5 miles away from my house at half the cost of the alcohol, but so far the benefits dont outweight the negatives...
Meth will make more power, but then your tune will be relying on the meth...

this word "corrosion" keeps coming up time and again...
As long as you dont store methanol in a aluminum container, there is nothing to corrode. All wetted parts in most system - nylon, santoprene, buna, nitrile, EPDM, brass, stainless steel - all are resistant to any R-OH

Check out 94AWDcoupe's posts in Long term effects of meth/alky on engine.
I'll offer this sound bit of logic:
IF his assertion that his cylinder wall finish was compromised purely as a result of methanol injection is correct, than a host of forum members (including myself) should observe the very same thing when we pop our heads (which I'll be doing before long). Has anyone else reported the same?
IF his assertion is incorrect, then we won't witness the same thing, and best evidence suggests that it was due to something else particular to his setup (elements of which are apparently atypical).
My point is simply that right or wrong, one example hardly constitutes a statistically valid sample, especially when no other (?) similar reports have surfaced.

I would like to add a video to the comment Rich has given
