ALKY/Meth pros & cons, what brand kit

Im looking to start running alky injection on my car. I am tuned with a bunch of bolt ons, cams and head studs. Just looking to see what kind of power increase I can expect and what everyone thinks about the idea. Any info on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Mike Also my mods are listed in my profile if it is needed.

Pros:

1) It's like running race gas all the time, so you get race gas-level gains of probably 25-30whp and 40-50wtq
2) It ALSO cools the intake charge dramatically
3) It steam cleans the cylinder walls
4) You only use it when you're boosting hard, so it doesn't go to waste when driving normally
5) It's much cheaper than race gas even if you get alky ($14/gal), but meth is even cheaper ($3/gal)

Cons:
1) It's dangerous, because if there is a kit failure, then you immediately go extremely lean and could blow the motor. However, this is where the built-in failsafes come into play, so choose your kit wisely
2) You have to "fill up" in separate places on separate occasions for both gas and alky/meth
3) Extra weight and lots of cabling/wiring all over the car
4) It's flammable liquid running through the body of the car

If you have E-85 readily available in your area, then I'd go that route for even more power at lower cost and no risk.

well sounds like I should wait for the E85 cause its coming soon near me. Ive heard its kinda harder to tune alky than E85. Thanks this is exactly what I was looking for.

Any good tuner can do both, but I think E-85 is much more complicated due to the fact it has a much different stoichiometric value and requires so much more fuel than gas.
