Default alky injection 100% or not

I have the carroll supercharging system with the vortech.
I'm going to be running around 8psi. His kit doesnt have an intercooler.
I only ran 6psi before but now I added headers with hi-flow cats, ls6 intake and the Ecs alky kit. Is running 100% meth the way to go or is better adding a liittle water to the mix?
Thanks Jimmy O

Or if your in a pinch, Go to Walmart and go into the automotive section. You can buy a 12oz bottle of "HEET" for .97
It is pure Meth. Its a yellow bottle. Make sure you dont get the orange bottle cause thats IP Alcohol. I even think you can buy it by the gallon for 10 bucks. Its easier than trying to track down a race fuel shop. for the same stuff. YES, you pay a couple of bucks extra, but its worth it.

I always just buy like 12 little bottles. This way you can put one in the storage compartment for the time when you run low/out and you have to drive your car..

It's straight meth or denatured. Denatured most hardware stores by the gallon.. little more expensive then meth though.
