I am/was really interested of water/methanol injection, and I came across a great thread here on FTE from those times, when Spartan was an active poster. It's 83 pages of posts, a lot of info there guys:

it seems like its to good to be true is there no one on this site who runs on of these systems i havent had very good luck with programmers so maybe this is the answer to lower egts while towing they dont get that high but im always running 25+ pounds of boost with my camper when i get some coin saved up i will try it and let you guys know how it works

Do you have a larger exhaust or still the factory? That makes a huge difference in EGT reduction also.

That will work "OK" but it should be your next upgrade. 3.5" downpipe to 4" exhaust will help you in the EGT area a bunch without killing your bottom end at all.
