Default Running methanol question????

Im planning to fit a VF23, FMIC, boost controller, 3" de-cat system, Walbro 255 and regulator and get it all mapped by Andy F early next year. Im expecting 320+ bhp.

I however have a readily available supply of free Methanol
Is it worth getting Andy to do a switchable methanol map?
What % in power increase would i expect?
Is it ok to run on standard internals?

What % of methanol can i run safely?
Is it possible to just run a little Methanol in my standard PPP RB5?

I would say speak to Andy - if he is doing the mapping.

Most people tend to use 10% mix without too many issues and with lots of advantages. (once mapped for it)

It helps make more power.

Cooler inlet charge
Its an oxygenated fuel
Higher octane
