Hey Jimmy, I looked at RP Ice and it says that one 12 oz bottle will treat 20 quarts. Am I looking at the correct one or does your mix ratio preform better?The only real advantage Evans Waterless has over water, are boiling point and the corrosivity, which admittedly are both huge! However nothing is a better heat transfer medium than water and water with relaxed surface tension is even better.
You need to determine your present cooling system and intercooling system total fluid capacity each, in order to properly dose your systems with Purple Ice. It is important to get it as close to two ounces per quart as you can. Two ounces per quart is 8 ounces per gallon, so no, that is not likely going to enough even for a bone stock system.
Just look for the words "filtered drinking" or "reverse osmosis", and then buy the cheapest generic stuff you can find. If you have a home water treatment system that uses reverse osmosis and it does not use salt for the water softener, you can also use that.

A simple easy mod that also helps is finding a 97-98 Lincoln mk8 fan, and rewinding the motor/refreshing it. Dropping a fresh mk8 fan in virtually eliminates any airflow issues that things like large heat exchangers or intercoolers create.
Our stock fans run (iirc) 2400/3700cfm low/high.
The mk8 units run 3500/5000 low/high and are physically almost identical in size/packaging to stock cobra fans.
They had to run such an aggressive fan because the mk8's had almost no airflow to the engine bay due to the style of the front end.
Also, isnt the oem temp sensor in the coolan crossover tube as well?
You always hear about the rear cylinders failing due to heat. Wouldn't a good HCM with proper cool down between runs help this?Go for a handful of 2nd-5th up to 170mph at wot??? it's not the 160 tstat that's going to fail you, your motor will let go do to the ptw clearance and the heat it creates. It's a known thing to stay out of 5th gear pulls. Not sure what the difference the tstat makes in those scenarios. 160, 170, or 180 none of that will make a difference.
I'll stick with my 170. I need to confirm that my AM gauge is off, which I assume it is
