Benefits of Meth Inj. when running big fuel system, race gas, air/water intercooler

From what I understand, a person runs meth inj. for one of three reasons:
1. to compensate for a fuel system that can't keep up
2. to increase octane when running pump fuel
3. to lower IAT's
If all of these issues where addressed with a large fuel system, race fuel and air/water intercooler, is the meth inj. actually beneficial anymore? Seems like removing it could simplify tuning, unclutter the car and remove a little weight, right? Or, am I missing something?
Reason for asking, I've recently upgraded to a huge fuel system and run C-16 fuel. I'm still using air/air intercooler for now, but want to know if I can still make the same amount of power without it at this point.

**** if ya running c16 you dont need meth lol. Meth helps pump gas cars more than race gas cars. I ran some 102 oxygenated vp stuff unleaded and sprayed meth and dident notice a huge differance. I was tuned with meth and 93, I did notice the tone of the car and the turbo spool quicker.

the guy in this thread converted from intercooler /c16 to no intercooler and e98 and picked up 90hp
I like meth because you dont lose the 2-3 psi boost through the intercooler, even though you get the same air temps
use it with water and it is a huge anti detonant
less pipiing to the tb for faster response and more flow
doesnt take up a lot of real estate
now, if your filter clogs or a pump dies, say goodbye to your motor unless you had some protection in place
