Engine Upgrades

Hello everyone... Since I was last online I was finishing the motor. Well, all seems to be good these days accept a cold start smoke problem I haven't nailed down yet. I am managing about 40psi of boost, having a hell of a time shifting the stick, but once I get moving, its like a Leaf Blower and a bungee cord...

So, question...

I have the H2E and have heard that having it upgraded makes a considerable difference. Can anyone comment on their experience / difference?
Beans will upgrade it to 1200CFM for just under $700, and Hypermax will upgrade it for $1200. Any idea why Hypermax would be almost twice the price? Is there something they do that Beans doesn't?

I towed my first long trip with it a month ago, and WOW! 13K behind me for about 600miles of mostly hills and mountain terrain, and it was INCREDIBLE! However I did have to watch my EGT's quite a bit, so what is the most affordable solution to get these down even more.

What does water injection do?

What about methenal Injection?

Where does one go from here?

Suggestions?
