From what I know Devils own kits are cheapest.
Power gains depends on the %mixed, some use it mainly for cooling, others use it for extra fuelling.

methanol injection ?
firstly why do you think you need it and secondly, have you looked at running the car using a 10% mix of bio-ethanol?

Im learning about the stuff at the current time, I know in diesels it can give 30bhp extra plus be used as extra cooling for charge air.
TBH if temps are alright and you just want more fuelling, might be better/easier to go for different injectors.

methanols quite dangerous to handle or starters, its an alcohol used to boost octane levels/lower charge temps
bio ethanol is a 80/20 mix of unleaded/ethanol available at the pump cheaper then super unleaded and with a higher octane rating. this can be used to boost your octane levels
a few lads on scoobynet have seen 20-35bhp gains when their cars have been mapped on a 10%/20% mix in the with v-power.
unless youve got a high power / charged car - you wouldnt need it.

The Zen Impreza uses Bio Ethenol fuel E85, apparently uses twice as much fuel as petrol, and i've also heard that its a nightmare to map with as its hard to detect det,
In regards to meth,
"One of the drawbacks of methanol as a fuel is its corrosivity to some metals, including aluminium. Methanol, although a weak acid, attacks the oxide coating that normally protects the aluminium from corrosion:"

a higher octane fuel is less likely to Det r1ch, thats why it would be hard to detect.

we use a 20% E85 mix in the Skyline, and E85 as an octane booster in the Impreza.
Just use it 'in tank' rather than wasting all that money injecting...

dude.... 
E85 is 85% Bio Ethenol, 15% 'petrol'
