Im not sure but from what I have heard it is pretty much useless.Most people end up using the intercooler sprayer tank for meth injection.

Im sure as long as you don't always use methanol injection your motor will be fine.You will also need to have you car tuned for meth.Im not sure which methanol injection kit is better than the next.I know that a a lot of people seem to use the Aquamist kit.

In gasoline engines, as with any intercooler, this suppresses detonation so more power producing boost and timing can be utilized. Water, with its high latent heat of vaporization cools the intake charge and combustion. Methanol cools the charge and combustion but also acts like an extremely high octane fuel (some researchers claim as high as 120 octane) as well as adding more oxygen to combustion.
