School me on Meth/Water Injection....

I have a 347 in my truck and I'm looking for more power. I've done some research on water/meth injection in use with a turbo which would allow you to use higher compression but I have some questions.

Well here is my current combo (in an 89 f-150)
.040 over 93 mustang roller block
DSS 347 stroker kit (forged I-beam rods forged pistons and cast crank)
10.49:1 compression
Trick Flow 190cc Fast as Cast heads
Comp 280HR (duration in. 280 ex. 286 Duration @.050 in. 224 ex. 230 lift in. .560 ex. .598)
Professional Products air gap intake (similar to edelbrock rpm airgap)
Comp Pro Gold Roller Rockers
Quick Fuel 750 mechanical secondary carb
Small tube headers and 2.5in exhaust
MSD E-curve distributor Digital 6 box Tayler wires MSD blaster coil
125 shot of nitrous

built AOD with a 3800 converter 4.56 gears 33in tires

Basically I am looking for more power and to get rid of the nitrous. I heard you can run a turbo with meth/water injection to compensate for the high compression ratio.

Here are my questions,
1. How much boost can I safely run?/What size turbo should I run?
2. Will I split the block in half with that much stress?
3. How to you set up progressive water/meth injection with increasing boost on a carb?
4. Who in PA knows how to tune something like this?
5. I'm using ARP head bolts (stock size I think 7/16) with cometic head gaskets is that enough to hold the boost?

I'm gona post this over on Pirate4x4 as well and see what they have to say.

the current compression ratio on your engine is a bit high, but with a small turbo try to keep the boost levels under 15 psi to avoid blowing the bottom end, the studs will help keep the heads on. the water methanol is a fogger setup like nitrous and really is main purpose was to keep exhaust temps lower in dragsters and diesels. snow performance has a kit that comes with everything needed including a module that you program to specific parameters as to exhaust temps and boost. as to how much water/meth mix is completely up to you just keep in mind that the methanol will burn hotter in a higher concentration.
