Will Methanol injection increase the octane level being pumped into the car?

I dont know exactly the physics, but my IAT sensor is after the meth inj so it detects the cold of the meth atomized air which in turn allows for a lot of timing which increases hp

On your profile you have a maggie? I have only seen one maggie use it but have not asked how effective it is for him

I have a Magnuson and also Methanol, I know it does cool down intake temps enough to bump up timing which equals addition power.

I'll let any further detailed discussion come from one of the tuners as that is the best to my understanding!

I've used methanol on forced induction applications in some of my old sports cars I've owned over the years. Most tuners will recommend it with forced induction. I'm not a mechanic so can't give more details other than that.
