Well, if you run too high a concentration of methanol you're likely going to get detonation.

It can be bad for your car, and it can kill your engine. But if done correctly, you could be looking at a serious horsepower increase.
 
As long as a properly sized jet(s), brand name reliable pump, and safety switch is installed, you will have zero problems. Most well known water/alky/meth kits will provide everything you need for a simple and safe setup.

If you're going to use meth, purchase a kit that is designed for it. You can use alky with a basic water injection kit but you will have to lube the o-rings in the pump with petroleum jelly, or mix a little Klotz UpLon fuel lube in your water/meth tank. If you don't do either of these things, the alky will make the rings swell up.

Most people use a 50-50 mix of water/meth. Where can you find a 50-50 mix? In a bottle of windshield washer fluid. Prestone De-Icer Windshield Fluid is said to be the best, because it doesn't have the additives/crap as other windshield fluids do. Or you can be a MAN, and run straight denatured alcohol!! It can be found under the name SLX at Home Depot.

Good luck :D
