Jesse, I once tried Red Line water wetter - I was really
impressed with reports of 10F temp drops in coolant temps - however, there was
no detectable difference when I used it in my system. HOWEVER, that was
back in the early days, before I understood what was really happening. I
suspect that the major problem I had back then was with adequate air flow
through the core - so water wetter probably would not have any success in fixing
that problem {:>).
I probably should try Redline again just to see if it
would make a difference now.

What's wrong with redline water wetter? In racie
cars, seems that it will increase heat absorption and disbursement pretty
well.

Welcome to the club, cooling appears to always be
the first item of business. I can not quantify the differences
those changes you propose would make.
However, a 50/50 coolant mixture has a 40% lower
specific heat than pure water alone. Meaning it will not carry as
much heat away at the same coolant temperature. Would pure water
give you 40% more cooling - I personally doubt it, would it help, I
believe it certainly
would.
