It would seem like you would need to do a pull or partial pull without meth to get a feel for what your car IAT's would be, then go from there.

Has anyone actually seen a huge increase in horsepower on the dyno with running say 4 * more total timing at X amount of boost with meth vs. 4* less total timing at x amount of boost without meth?

I picked up 50 rwhp running meth and going from 12deg to 15 deg timing.
made no fuel adjustments, goes from 11.5 afr to 10.3 afr when meth is spraying.

I have it setup the way you described. I have timing pulled out starting at 1 deg @ 25C and quickly ramping up to 8.5 deg @ 55C.

Without meth timing is 14.5@4k RPM, 15@5k RPM, and 14.5@6k RPM. With meth it's 17.5@4k, 18@5k, 18@6k, and 18.5@6500. This is a tune for colder weather so it may need some tweaks come summer.

Seems to work pretty well as on the meth it added 20 hp/tq pretty much across the entire powerband. I didn't do it for power so much as peace of mind. These injection systems work pretty reliably anyway so it's not much of a concern.

About IAT speed. All of my scans show a lag of about 2.5 seconds for the IAT to go as low as it will go while spraying. For instance, if you punch it for 1.5 second then let off, then the IAT sensor will continue to drop for 1 more second even after you stop spraying. I was hoping for more responsive IAT readings, but it doesn't work that way. On the plus side, it feels like small shot of nitrous because after putting the pedal down, the IATs are still falling and consequently less timing is pulled. You can really feel the extra power as 2-4 degrees are added back in.
