Methanol injection

I am considering a Methanol/ water injection for my 04 Suoerduty 6.0 diesel. Snow or Coolmist and what stage ? Pro's and con's ? HP and milage gains ?

I tow a 3,500 lb trailer most of the time and do about (10) 1/4 mile pulls/ year

Mods are:
MBRP turbo back
Airaid intake
Power elbow
Autometer boost, EGT and trans temp
SCT with ID extream race tune

Pros, CHEAP
Cons, water runs out, your tune depends on it =
best case - you ping, hopefully to live another day
worst case - you get to build a new engine

Cool it right, get a bigger inter-cooler!

If it pings he has more problems than he was accounting for... (its a diesel )
