On a naturally aspirated vehicle you will probably not see much improvement. The methanol is injected after the IAT sensor so the computer doesn't register the change in temperature. You may gain a little density in the air, but unless your running rich, your a/f ratio will be off minutely. If I had a little pump I trusted, I would tap into the washer res and use a WOT sensor to turn that pump on, basically squirting washer fluid (mostly methanol) into the intake tube when I am at wide open. I wouldn't spend a couple hundred dollars on a new tank, pump and nozzle.
For forced induction, I've heard great things about it. The turbo is dumping tons of heat into the intake air both from being close to the exhaust and any time you compress air, it gets hotter. I wouldn't be surprised to hear the air in the plenum is 40 degrees over ambient. I've heard of injecting both before and after the intercooler. Some believe that the methanol evaporate on to the core of the intercooler and drops the temps faster. On the other side, some have issues with the methanol possibly corroding the cooler.
