It wont for the sheer fact that the timing adjustments where the enhanced ocatane levels that methanol will let you achieve wont make a big difference on an NA car. you could pick up maybe 5-10 WHP MAYBE but with the price of the kit and all the tuning required to make it run well wouldnt be worth it at all. your looking at 500 for a basic Kit then install then who knnows how many hours of tuning. Id never put it on an NA car

Right... that's my point... it's really not worth all of the hassle. However, I have heard people say they have gotten better mileage which might make it worth it if you were willing to keep it for the long haul.
