Default Snow Performance water/meth injection w/ nitro booster

Ok most of you know about water/methanol injection and how it has intake cooling and anti-detonation properties. And may also get you a 10 to 15 hp bonus. But do any of you have any knowledge of the below product from Snow Performance where they add a specified SMALL amount of nitromethane into the water/methanol injection fluid for a advertised 30 to 50 hp gain? Granted that would be just a short boost of a moderate of amount of power for like maybe one drag race even if it is true. On paper it sounds like an interesting way to get a moderate power gain IF, and that is a big IF in my mind right now...if it is both safe and effective in my 350Z. Topic for discussion. Is it safe and effective? Here is the link:

No but I am hoping to go twin turbo very soon. Yes, I realize the primary use of water/meth injection is intake charge cooling for forced induction.

However, Snow Performance advertizes a n/a water/meth injection system and that you can use the nitromethane booster n/a. The nitromethane donates oxygen to mildly supercharge your car and adds octane and the methanol adds some fuel and octane. And the system adds charge cooling to help prevent detonation. They say that you won't run lean unless you exceed the amount of nitro they say to add to the water/meth container. Now these are the claims. If it were safe to run, it would be interesting to see if one gets any power increase to speak of. I run 13.9 sec. qtrs. on a cool day and 14.1s on a warm day pure stock as I am now down to the air filter.
