Maybe I'm confused ... but ,
If you are getting det from pulled timing , the straight methanol would naturally help prevent the detonation , due to it's being 117 octane. However you could be getting the detonation from timing pulled due to excessive intake temps. Rule #1 of course , is it's the water that kills detonation , which should allow you to run more timing.
You guys know WAAAAY more than I do , but I would think you are chasing your tail by depending on the methanol to stop the detonation. Why wouldn't you use a higher octane fuel in your gas tank to prevent the timing being pulled , and garner the benefits of a 50/50 water/meth mix which should also lower your intake temps more ?
Sure , straight methanol will make more power due to it's higher octane rating than when you mix it with water , but running high octane gasoline AND using water injection to lower intake temps should make you waaay more power.
