In my experience water or water/meth will not by itself will not add any significant power. While you would expect some due to the cooler combustion the mixture displaces some air/fuel so its about a wash.
Why then use it?
1) Added to a correctly tuned engine with no tuning changes it is the best insurance against detonation.
2) It allows you to increase timing and reduce fuel both of which add power. The down side is that you are then relying on the system to protect the engine so it had better be bullet proof.
