I would think twice about the meth setup if I was you seeing you have little to no room for an intercooler.
Meth is a great chemical/liquid intercooler and it's use and initial purchace price are relatively cheap, I would give no cares about silly blower coating. The meth would go a long ways towards cooling the Heaton and the intake charge. Meth will actually tighten up the blower and fill in the places where the coating is already gone. Big boy race superchargers (roots MFI setups) use drizzler nozzles for this very purpose to cool and tighten up the blower.
Meth is a great way to get rid of a bit of KR... I've seen a simple setup take care of up to 4-5 degrees of KR, not sure how the other guy said it slowed him down?
It's magic juice I tell ya!

I agree meth can help if set up right. I put the recommended size nozzle in a tb spacer, it was to much for the rotors. The car lagged with it. Swapped it out for a very small nozzle runs fine with it. People use it all the time with great results.

I would run it through the manifold duel nozzles one on each side. Just a personal choice a tb spacer works to. I had the tb spacer with a cheap devil's own kit worked ok. I now have a inch spacer between the manifold and blower that I'm putting duel nozzles with a progressive kit. I know your tight on space you could put them into your manifold. Either way it will help a little, kills some kr. I would look into the progressive kits, there a little more money but worth it in my opinion. Do some research on them, everyone has there own opinion on them.

what kind of tuning do you have to do for meth?

You don't need a tune, though it would help. I just use it as a cooling aid to kill a little kr. If you put in some huge nozzle then yes i would tune it. I don't want to have a tune relying on the meth, just a personal choice. Like anything you could put big nozzles in tune it with great results. But with all the money doing this you could put your money elsewhere, comes down to personal choice, how much money you want to spend and is it worth it to you? For the price of a meth kit you could put that money elsewhere in the car.

I love me some XFI lobes.
You can make a bunch more power with a cam that isn't so radical on duration.
XFI lobes are aggressive tho... I'd run some 140 or 150 springs.

There is some e85 in Utah but not much
