I just watched that video. Very informative. Boiling points and a liquid's heat transfer abilities are 2 different things. Like it said, water is the best coolant on earth.

I like how it showed what temp that SB chevy with aluminum heads ran at 7200rpm. With 50/50 it was 228F. With 50/50 and water wetter it dropped to 220F. Straight water was 220F. And straight water with water wetter was 208F.

I've heard of water wetter before and actually used it in my supra before my BHG. But I totally forgot about it and now that I saw that video I think I'm going to start using it again.
