Can it cause engine damage?

Hell yes. Have to be extra vigilant about monitoring your oil.

Not in my experience. It makes for a cooler burn.

Especially if the meth is not controlled effectively. I am generally anti-meth/nitrous, I find meth inj equally if not more dangerous because it is a fuel. Therefore if not properly regulated by your tune or improperly mixed it can advance the timing, detonate before you want it to, toast your engine and so on.

Also just not a fan of liquid power-adders you have to refill.

It depends on how aggressive your tune is.

My car runs better with the meth injection than on race gas.

I have not had a single problem with my system.

I would be very careful. I guess it would run cooler, but seems like you have to be right on all the time no room for error

^ That has not been my experience at all.

The car drives normally unless you really get on it.

why?

if you tune conservatively, not at the ragged edge, you will lose a little HP but be perfectly safe. if nothing else, you're much safer b/c meth cools the intake charge temps significantly too.

meth has been villainized since my days in the supra scene. back then, there weren't very good controllers (or ecu's.) with current porsche ecu's, and the ability to program *everything*, meth injection should be fine. back then, some doubted the even distribution of meth spray, fearing a cylinder might get less & detonate, but with a good controller, i don't think this would be an issue.

i mean, my car is 100% programmed for whatever gas i have - no switches, nothing. if i put 91 in, the ECU retards timing so it's safe. when i throw in 100, timing (among other variables) is advanced. if i were to throw in 2 gallons of meth into the tank, timing would be advanced to probably 105-octane or so (probably upper limit of my tune.)
