Default alchol/meth injection on NA motor

An one using this sort of injection on an NA motor. I was thinking of buying a kit and using the windshield washer fluid resivour. Im having some problems keeping kr down in high heat and running the timing I want plus it would cool intake air down alot and be cheaper in the long run than race gas for the track. Should only cost around 170 for a cheap kit thinking it would add around 15rwhp which would make it a good mod for the money
Is it worth it? Anyone have experience with setting it up?

Default meth

It will give you a margin of safety with iat and octane. They can take a pretty big hit without bogging as long as its straight meth and no water. You will have to retune though. It is worth it, and if i was na i would do it. My kit is diff than what you are getting so no experience with installing it, i went with SMC.

Default meth breath

Your main gain is a margin of safety, it will cool the intake charge so you will gain a little there, it will allow you to run more compression or boost, or timing, whatever your doing. Running meth alone will not boost power any more than race gas will a motor that dont need it, but it has its benifits. Unless you need it, it will do nothing, other than cool the charge. but if you have detonation, you will notice a gain, as you need it.

Have you icreased your compression ratio? If not, I don't see any gains to be had n/a.

Something to try on an N/A engine would be to add in very small increments some Nitro to the meth in the tank, I would bet it would be worth a small amount, mabe more, even with a lower than optimum compression ratio for it.
