There are lots of people who doubt it. i ask you one question.
why are you drowning your engine in petrol which only contains 160 BTU per pound when you could free up some power and space in the cylinder by using
methanol @ 472 BTU per pound
or
Water @ 970 BTU per pound.
Dont forget that in WW II the airforce used water injection at a rate of 1:1 to reduce fuel usage and develop more power.
check out aquamist web site. there is a forum on there. there are some drag guys on there as well.
There are many ways to inject water or methanol. Some go in pre turbo for some sound thermodynamics.

Methanol
I have to service the engine every 1500 miles. The oil gets very toxic and the plugs dont last long either. I dont find there is a reduction in my compression but this may be due to the fact a rotary injects oil into the motor and i also have rasied my oiling amount.
I would say there is a benefit to you using water but maybe not methanol. I am told that water and n20 go very nicely together. IE n20 increased the incylinder temps and water reduces them. You may find that if you run water you will have to lean out the high load areas especially at peak tq and have to add some advance.
You should put your numbers into the not so fast turbo calculator.
