At a first glance, it seems it would do no harm (cooler intake temps, arguably extra knock safety). ¿But would it really help make more power? I did not see many info or comments with our brz/86 platform but many other platforms use this system. So...kind of undecided here.
¡Thanks!

It will make more power, more consistent power, and safer power.
on my setup with 92 octane i ran 14.5 degrees of timing, with WMI alone 17.8 degrees, E45 alone 17.8 degrees and E45 + WMI 21.1 degrees timing.
WMI + E45 will get you the same power/octane benefits/ timing etc as full E85.
WMI is also better than E85 for cooling charge temps.
Also running WMI helps subsidies your fueling system as it has its own pump/nozzle so I did not need to upgrade my injectors / pump like i would have if i was only running E85. and my fuel economy was still very reasonable not being on full E85. If i had easier access to E85 i would probably still just run full E85, but i have 1 station 1.5hour round trip. so i fill up 6 5gallon cans and used 1 5gallon can per fill up (5.5gallons) to space out my trips.
with that being said, i wouldn't get WMI to substitute for an OIL cooler, it will probably help overall temps including OIL a tiny bit. but it is not intended as a full substitute for an OIL cooler, it is just an octane booster / IAT temp cooler.
