An injector that's good for methanol will have no problem with gasoline, but the tune will have to be vastly different.
Methanol is best used as an on-demand fuel for WOT, and is not good to drive around on.
What exactly is your plan? maybe I can give more useful advice.

I have a question also -- where can you buy injectors and a pump that can handle methanol? I have access to a TIG welder so I will probably make an aluminum pump, and weld bosses into my manifold, but I don't know what injectors to use. I need at least 160lb injectors, along with a pump that can sustain 4 of them. Any info would be great! Thanks!

Aeromotive makes a pump model that will work with methanol and is rebuildable. They are over in Kansas.

MSD and a couple other companies make injectors for methanol and should have the size you need.

if you want less hassle go with the IC,
if you're going for maximum power then go with either methanol or both.
If maximum power isn't so important and you really don't want the IC, then
water injection will be much less of a hassle.

For just alcohol injection, it's easy. If I were you, I think I would run both. I made my existing alcohol injection system for about $150. There's a good site that kind of gives a basis for an alky system. You don't have to follow it exactly (I didn't), but you certainly can if you want to. http://members.***.net/stevemonroe/AlcoholInjMod.html <-- I've done this on my car and on a buddy's RX7. Good luck!
