I think you should spend money on real mods first. like intake, exhaust, header, pulley, or turbo.
He won't notice the loss in power the water makes, either... Plus with metanol he'll be just a tad richer than usual (good). Water injection adds a miniscule amount, far less than gas, and even the volume of gas in the mixture is nothing compared to all the air you pump through the engine.
I say, the big upside is that he can run his 15 degrees of advance on 87 gas from a local Crown station and not have holes in pistons And a clean exhaust system/combustion chamber, too. Water injection alone is not a real power-booster, but still a good thing to have, in my book at least. Less money spent on gasoline/cat converters/plugs/oxygen sensors = more money spent on goodies that make you go fast.
