Default Meth injection on high compression N/A Motor??

Just had a thought. Im going to be in the market for a new motor for a winter project. I want to try to squeeze every last hp out of it n/a. What are everyones thought on using meth injection in order to use high compression and still run it on 93 octane. I was thinking 402-408 with about 13:1.

I have heard of people doing that with success. I personally think its a waste to do, just bump down the CR a little bit so you can run 93 with no problems. Besides dont you run n2o? Just jet up a tiny bit more, it isnt worth a meth kit just to squeeze a litte bit more out.

FWIW i run about 12:1 on 93 with no problems.

you can get the meth kit and just advance the timing more instead of going for higher compression

You will only make power up to a certain point by advancing the timing on these engine. After that point you can keep advancing but you wont gain anything.
