Default Methanol Injection = Boost Increase?

Anyone running 100% Methanol Injection note a boost increase? Have read from a few sources that the air density increase from the meth cooling effect can can show around 2psi gain.

Should be installing this weekend.

The colder/denser winter air has bumped me up to 13-13.5psi right now already. Hit the PCM 'High MAF Fail MHz' with the Vortech @ 22000MHz last night and need to increase it to 25000MHz to keep the computer from freaking.

Am wondering if Methanol will do the same.

Also read this at a Mustang site today re: Snow Kit:
