Paul:
The coolant is also interesting, just water with water wetter. Does

water

wetter have corrosion inhibitors in it? IIRC someone on this forum was
suggesting this instead of the glycol based coolants but corrosion was

the

problem.

You got me. Anybody? These race car sit around for months at a time.

Glycol is illegal in most (all?) forms of racing because it behaves like oil
when it gets on the track.  Very slick!  Redline claims their water wetter
(dry red crystals, use about 1 tablespoon per gallon) actually improves
cooling over straight water.  I've been using NAPA Kool cooling system
treatment (red liquid) for some time, mixed with tap water at about 20 to 1
with no corrosion problems.  Unfortunately, nobody lists ingredients in
their "magic juice" so I can't tell you what they really are.

As for cooling properties, I think glycol is lousy, so unless you really
need the freeze protection, use some kind of corrosion inhibitor instead and
let the water do the cooling.  Just my $.02 worth.
