That's true, I used to spray pure methanol into the throttle body, had the air going into it down to 32 degrees and sometimes even lower...

BUT, the air coming out of the supercharger was still about 30-45 degrees above ambient, not very efficient,

AND, the vaporized methanol displaced and reduced the amount of air entering the system. (that also happens injected after the SC, but to a lesser extent)

I disagree with that, if you're saying it will increase octane very much. Figure the amount of alcohol injected as a percentage of the total amount of fuel consumed, and the increase in octane is minimal.
