Alcohol will produce more horsepower if you have the right components. Ethanol or methanol is a higher octane. Hence forth you need more timing, higher compression and more fuel.

If I remember correctly the ratio is about 40% higher or more for methanol. About another 6 to 8 degrees of timing and 2 points or more compression needed. I would assume ethanol is about the same.
