You'll probably see lower IAT's with higher meth, because it can evaporate so quickly, but water can do wonders in the combustion chamber. It's latent heat evaporation (the amount of heat it takes to vaporize it and therefore the amount of heat it absorbs) is almost double methanol's. Also, theoretically the octane level is infinite...as it cannot be combusted. On a high compression, high boost motor...water can really be your friend.

Is it also the water that gives the nice side-effect of "steam cleaning" the piston crown / intake valves? Or would you get that anyway with straight methanol?

Also, when running higher concentrations of meth, at what point would running too rich come into play? Or is the ECU smart enough to not let that happen?
