Question will this actually help us out on performance????

i just came across snow performances Water/Methanol injection system. they claim " Low cost - where else can you get up to 60HP for as low as $299? More power than other means of detonation control. Efficiency - leaner air fuel ratio can be utilized for normal operation.
Greatly increases air charge densities for huge horsepower increases. Naturally aspirated/high compression engines:
In this application, water/methanol injection allows the use of pump fuel in all but the most extreme situations which effects tremendous cost savings as well as horsepower increases due to air density increase and realized timing potential. The system is activated by a boost referenced switch so that injection takes place only during high engine loads when needed. Engines using nitrous:
With nitrous, water/methanol injection allows the use of full timing even with large (250HP+) quantities. Injection is controlled by the same means that controls nitrous injection.
Naturally aspirated/stock compression:
With naturally aspirated engines with less than 10:1 compression, water/methanol is used typically in warm climates to get the intake temps back to 60f. Benefits include: 10-15 HP increases from air density increases and full timing, Increased gas mileage, and carbon free combustion chambers. Activation is by a throttle switch adjusted for onset engine load. With this application, the nozzle is sized so that no more than 10% of total fuel consumption at peak flywheel HP is injected."

i realize that 60 increase is a joke, atleast for the engine we have... but i would love 15 hp for 299. anyone tried this out?

I've seen a fair number of guys running the RIPP kits are using meth injection, not too sure about the N/A guys though. Let's sit back and see.
