Nitrous & Methnol

If I wanted to use methanol what jetting would I use?
What is the "octaine" rating of Methanol?
What would I have to do different from sparying with gasoline, that I might not see coming?
I could get a fuel pump and tank no problem.
Extra safty stuff would be easy to install too, fuel pressuer safty and fuel purge.
SS lines aren't to much $ because I can't use aluminium.
I think the octaine was equal to about 118, if I rember right.
Guys that run alcohol carbs I here they jet about twice the size compaired to gas.
Would I do that with the nitrous fuel jets, 2X the size or keep the jets the same and 2X the fuel psi?
I want to run methnol because it is cheap compaired to race gas all the time.
I could up the comperssion and still run pump gas when sparying.
Methanol likes hot high compression engines.
Stupid ricers will here nitrous and methanol and think its nitro methane.
It would help me have a secert system, with hiden purge and other stuff below.
Alcohol wouldn't make black smoke that easly, so they wouldn't be tiped off that there being spared at least the first or second time.
This would all be for the 150hp to 175hp 3 stage nitrous for the Z28. I don't want to run alcohol in the regular fuel system just the nitrous system.
And maybe use methanol for the 50hp or so shot I want to put on the V6 after the turbos go on and still use gas in the regular fuel system..
I realy want propane and nitrous for the V6 for the Cooling + Cooling effect of sparying gas and gas. I'll have to wait and see on the propane and nitrous.

for methanol you'd need to change all your fuel system over to seals that work with methanol. you'd need to flow around 35% more fuel, colder plug, you'd have a hard time starting it below 50*F.
