Default meth injection help.... few ?'s

first of all, does this kit look like a decent one for 6lbs of boost, http://store.summitracing.com/defaul...=egnsearch.asp(its the 2nd one down, #20001)

also, I understand you can run meth/water, alcy/water, or straight water.... I'm thinking at least filtered water or should it be distilled?
and is the alcohol your basic rubbing alcohol?
I've seen methanol for sale on the internet but is there someplace local that might have it in stock, I've heard that the washerfluid at walmart is good to run, is this true?
and lastly what should my wideband be doing when chemical intercooling is going on?, right now I'm @ 11.0 af ratio, is that going to drop or should I take out some fuel to keep it at 11.0 w/the meth or alcy being injected?

any other advice on the subject would be great, I've tried search for the past hour and havent come up w/my answers.... thanks,

i get methanol from a local speedshop. its what racers use that run "alcohol cars". I run 100% meth. My a/f shows leaner than it really is when spraying meth. Last time out, i was at 11.2-3 a/f and puffing a lot of black smoke. I used to run 11.8 but thought i'd go richer to see what happened. I got no knock at 11.8 and think i could prolly got to 12.1-2 as indicated on my wb.
