Does it add more power? Well, it prevents knock, so it can allow you to use a more aggressive tune. the lower IAT's don't hurt either.

Does it help it run cooler? No, not really.. If you're having heat issues in the cooling system, you probably need to look elsewhere for a fix.

what Zeno said, + $500-$600 for the Alky kit, install time is about a full day to get it done right. Then a tuner that knows Methanol... No down side, only smiles
