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.
^^^This as live and travel to cities and towns that the highest temperatures in the US. I had several discussions with Seb at SpecialtyZ about the merits of meth and his answer was just say no to drugs as there are to many risks and points of failure once you add another component to your fueling system. What he did was gave me a high temp tune that made additional compensations on the timing and I ran at a lower boost level. I never had any issues in temps from 100 to 127....and it a dry heat!
