I've used it in the past, and recently added it to the mix when I flushed the coolant on my G. If you have a coolant control valve (can come with the Motordyne spacer), make sure to open it when you do the flush. Follow the service manual procedures to keep air out of the system. Read up on Redline Water Wetter and you will learn that it works best if you use less than 50% coolant. That shouldn't be a problem in Florida. I trust that it is working, but it isn't something you will really notice. You might notice that the cooling fans don't come on as often, except that when it is hot outside, you probably have the AC on, so the fans are on anyway.

What you have in the OP is used when you have straight water in there for racing applications, not coolant. If you have coolant 50/50 then avoid this additive.

Google "Water Wetter and Sludge Buildup"

Now do you still want to use it?

I avoid additives personally.

Are you racing???? unless youre racing, this will barely make a difference anyway, Since youre from florida and it barely gets cold there. you should just use about 30 % coolant and 70% distilled water. Do this only if it never gets to freezing temps where you live.
