Typical gains with Methanol injection??

I was thinking about buying a meth kit this summer but I'm pretty sold on it now after seeing a member in the dyno section picking up 85rwhp with nothing but meth and a retune. He picked up 50rwhp adding meth and nothing else on 15* of timing. He then added 5* of timing and picked up another 35rwhp. What kind of numbers and track time gains have you guys seen?

Please post your combo and any changes to the tune/timing.

When I was researchin meth it seemed that 75hp was a pretty normal pickup when adding meth. Meth will let you run higher boost also so there's some more power.

without adding boost or timing, e85 alone will net 3-5%

the most gain you will achieve out of it will be the added boost or the added timing.

I gained somewhere around 150rwhp with my meth kit. But I am using it to help fuel the car since the injectors are maxed out.

what would happen if you were to just throw on a kit and not have it tuned and not add any boost or timing?
