Default Meth injection/Griptec upper pulley - good idea?

My 16' Z06 is pretty much stock, including exhaust, except for a ported throttle body and AFE CAI. I would like to get close to 650 RWHP, so I was thinking about adding a meth injection kit and installing the Griptec 2.3" upper pulley. Of course, I would get it dyno tuned afterwards. Would this be a good, relatively inexpensive, somewhat simple installation, combination of items to get me there? What meth kit is the best and I assume the tank will fit under the hood somewhere? How much time would it take to install the meth kit? I also plan on adding a Borla x-pipe at the same time, but I know that's a negligible amount of additional power.

I think meth is a good idea even if stock. Especially with these blowers and how high the IATs can get resulting in lost power and possible detonation. My lt1 With an LT4 blower, fuel system and 5% od Pulley is right around 630HP But the IATs were really high so I added meth and a cordes hx to help Lower that. I think most kits like alky use the windshield washer tank but I used the alky kit with a Prometh trunk tank. My way of installing it was quite involved and now I'm having pump problems which is likely due to me buying a used kit. So if you do decide to run meth Id buy new and save the headache. If you want follow the link in my signature a I cover most of my install with both the methanol and Heat Exchanger in those videos.
