The answer is yes , you can make a lot more power without breaking your motor if you avoid detonation.
Another thing about running methanol injection is the cooling effect it has in the cylinder , heat is a huge contributor to engine failure too.
Conversely , if you detonate even at low boost , you can break even a built motor , I think there is a lot of mis-conception about this , people think that if you build your motor , it will not blow up , this is so untrue.
Also , methanol adds a huge "margin of error" as far as tuning is concerned, it makes things about as foolproof as it gets!

The answer is yes? Water/met injection does NOT replace built internals. You can run higher boost which will in turn make more power. But once you start increasing the stress on the stock parts. You're asking for a blown motor. I guess everyone doing fast times on the track built their internals just for the hell of it.
You're right about one thing, built internals will not prevent a blown engine IF you detonate.
I only mentioned weak ring lands because H22 pistons are known for having them. You dont have to detonate to blow out your ringlands.
