Rather than adding more gasoline, just add methanol and water? Is the fuel value of the methanol enough to substitute for gasoline?

I understand that the Saturn computer will not add more fuel for any reason, as it will never know that it is under boost. This obviously creates an incredibly lean condition under boost. Will an Aquamist solve this, or should it only be used in conjunction with a gasoline adding system?

By the way, the car is going to remain at its stock compression with only about 4 pounds of boost, just to help increase torque and midrange. Not looking for HUGE boost and power.
yes meth has a fuel value but..its definetly not as much fuel as gasoline. this is why you see the 4 cylinder meth drag cars running like 8 160/lb injectors lol
