Non intercooled?

No. You'll need about 6 degrees less timing to start and then creep back up on it.

Agreed, less timing and you gotta be careful with 100% meth as it has a super low flash point. At 15psi I'm at about 14-15* on 93 pump with wiper fluid, on a mostly stock 5.3 (ported heads and a cam) but I also run a FMIC so my IATs are around 100-120*F on a 90*F day in boost closer to 90-100*F with the meth on. I usually see a 10*F drop in temps during a 3-5s pull some of the temp drop is still going down coming out of the pull.

Keep in mind you won't have the benefits of alcohol until the methanol starts spraying so you don't get as much low-end benefit.
Watch those temps, EGT, and AFR like a hawk.
