Aquamist for IHI or not bother

I was wondering... before my car goes to Jabba for IHI VF34 conversion, should I get water / methanol injection plumbed in? As I am sticking with stock internals Jabba said I can expect between 340 - 350 BHP, as I understand, at this power level the VF34 is not at its limit / i'm presuming it's detuned slightly to take into account my standard con rods and valves. So the question is should I fit aquamist before it goes for the conversion? Would I notice 'any' power differences at all. I know lower inlet temps is always a good thing but i'm trying to decide if another £350 is well spent or not really needed. By the time the car goes for the conversion I will already have the Pro Alloy FMIC installed. I'm just after any views you guys can give me on this one?

You might aswell if you have spent that much! I have the 2d system with a 70+30 meth mix does seem to pop and spit flames more than it use too seems smoother up top too.

But will the aquamist give me better performance (top end maybe). If I got aquamist, I wouldn't want the hassle of making sure it always has a methanol / water supply so would I have any advantage of getting the IHI conversion and then installing the Aquamist afterwards. It won't raise my torque to unsafe (for my rods) limits will it? Will the power / torque delivery be any different? I don't know the technical side of these things to any extent?
