Injectors will give you more bang. Water meth is more beneficial if you are trying to cool EGT's off a bit or are towing a lot.

water/meth is a band aid. Save it as something you *have* to do because your temps are bad. I wouldn't seek it out.

I've been running water/methanol snow stage 2 kit for four years now. Its turned on all the time. I almost swear that it prevents the head for cracking between the intake/exhaust seats. I had three cracked new heads on the 02 over the years. My last head was used off an 01 roll-over. Still good. Helps to keep the head, cylinder and turbocharge turbine disk cool.

I run one nozzle and use blue -20deg windshelf fluid. I improved my over hp increase by 70rwhp (proven on a dyno) and have noticed improved fuel mileage.

Easy easy stuff. Might have to drill a hole for the nozzle into a stock air horn. I put my nozzle at the end that you attach the IC down pipe. Seems to work well. The air horn/plenum bolts ends will rust, so if for any reason you need to pull the air horn bolts out, I would just vaccum my intake plenum, just keep the rust from going into the engine. Some guys don't care, but I don't like getting trash inside my engine.

Seen a few too many scored cylinders from debris over the years.
