As an indication of the effect water/meth had on the engines of that era, the Avons [200 series IIRC] fitted to the tanker version of the Valiant, gained an extra 1000lbs of thrust, moving them up from 10,000lbs to 11,000lbs. This sometimes moved Stop and Go back to the right side of each other, not always the case in those early days.
