Less tubing = less lag. Also since the ethanol burns cooler at the same cylinder pressure, you can load the system more without generating as much heat and risking detonation. Minimal tubing (and if you wanted, running straight methanol in addition), and you can run a lot of boost at a reasonable compression without popping anything.
I know Wasted Income runs pump gas, but uses methanol injection instead of an intercooler on his blazer. Not sure how his lag is tho.
