I looked into it to help with IAT's with a GTM supercharger and help the kit produce more power.

It's a slippery slope that has potential for major issues. To be 80% sure that it may work, individual port injection is preferred and a maintenance plan to prevent the nozzles from plugging over time.

The bottom line is that you are never 100% sure that the meth injection is working for each cylinder without proper gauges and maintenance. All it takes is one cylinder to have detonation and then a meltdown.

Best bet is to tune without meth injection and use meth injection as a extra margin of safety and heat management but don't rely on it to make extra HP.

Having a good measurement system of gauges helps you see what is going on.
