Default Methanol ?'s
quick question, i have a 2000 t/a with mods in sig (3800 stall, 228/230 cam, 4.10 gears, ported intake and the usual bolt ons/tune and LT's.) what would methanol injection do for me or would it be a waste of time?

It would be a waste of time, methanol is used to help cool the air charge and help prevent detonation on boosted applications, on a N/A setup the gains if any would be so minimal it would not offset the cost at all.
