Default water/methanol injection with a supercharger

Got a quick question. I have a 2000 civic si with a jr supercharger. since i dont have a intercooler/aftercooler, will meth/water injecton work to cool the charge down? and if it does work, is it safe with the supercharger i have?

safe yes, but remember if you are tuned with it, you NEED IT ALL THE TIME for it to run right.

pm rmcdaniels he has a pretty decent knowlege of the jrsc.

I have used it on a bunch of supercharged motors and it works great

It didn't make any difference for me with a JRSC on an EM1. I know a guy who builds supercharged SBC's and it helps them a lot, but not so much on a B16A2. It's probably because I wasn't knock-limited, so I didn't really need it (i.e. - if you are not pulling enough timing to rob you of serious power because you are at your knock threshold, then you don't gain power from water/methanol injection).
