Water wetter (found this on my350z.com)
water wetter apparently can be found at most automotive shops and will run in the neighborhood of $7 a bottle.
Watch the demo, looks like something I'm going to get for sure.

Anyone who races motorcycles (roadrace) is required to run Water Wetter. No antifreeze is allowed. My bike actually my bike runs cooler with a 50/50 mix of anti freeze/ water than it does with the watter wetter. Also onething you guys might want to consider is water wetter leaves a nasty film on the radiator and after a while will hurt you cooling situation. All is this is in regaurds to roadrace motoercycles so take it for what it is worth. Just thought it might help before you run out and buy a case of this stuff. It has been out for years.

In the heat of the summer my bike runs a good bit cooler with water and water wetter than water/antifreeze. Just my experience. NESBA rules only allow water and water wetter. Some of the tracks in the SE also will allow "engine ice." Don't know how it would work in a car.

If wetter water works, it works by increasing the heat transfer from the cylinder heads to the coolant......thus making the coolant hotter at least going into radiator.
The purpose of using less antifreeze with water is to improve the heat transfer also! Just make sure you have enough anticorrosion additives in the mixture.
Regular AF as bottled ASSUMES you will be running 50/50 so at less ratio, you will be short of additives..........works ok for a short time until they deplete themselves........Annual flushes/changes often required with lower AF ratio.
A simple trick is to drain rad [~~4 quarts and refill with 100% distilled water for summer April/May, then in November drain ~~4 quarts again and replace with 4 quarts of 100% AF [non diluted].......check the resulting mathematcal ratio starting with 50/50.
That way you always have at least 4 quarts of brand new AF [with brand new additives each year].................NEVER mix brands even OAT technologies as strange chemical reactions can occur with possible different additive formulae.
The real question is what is cylinder head temperature not what is coolant temperature as long as it doesn't exceed 225F [aluminum heads are very sensitive and expensive to replace].

That's what I was looking for. Q45tech to the rescue!
