Default what should i fill my radiator with....

Should i go the normal antifreeze route? Or water with redline water wetter? Or antifreeze with water wetter? Just want to see what everyone has tried and what has worked best at keeping low temps. Also anyone know where i can perhaps get a lower temp thermostat? thanks for any help

you need antifreeze to lubricate the water pump, I would say a good 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water. water does have better heat transfer than antifreeze so you can run more water than antifreeze if you want, just remember to use it as it does lubricate the water pump.

Exactly.
Although living in Florida we don't have to worry about coolant freeze so I'd go a little lean on the antifreeze. As for redline water wetter...add it if you want some interesting gunk buildup.

Unless your car is a true race car and ONLY sees track time, you need to stick with the 50/50 for street use. WaterWetter is AWSOME when used properly. By that I mean, if you are on the track, run straight water with a bottle of WaterWetter. On the street go with the 50/50 and add WatterWetter.
Don't know what the last guy was talking about in regards to "gunk".
I used it both in my old racecar and street car with great results.
Recently I blew my headgasket, and WaterWetter was one of the main factors that kept my motor from overheating and warping.
