[QUOTE="SlowSVT, post: 12476466, member: 20202"] Are you having overheating problems or are you just looking to improve the cooling efficiency of the engine? What are your mods and how is the car used? Playing around with various coolants and mixing ratios is all a balancing act. Whatever direction you go compromises will have to be made. If you want better cooling you’re going to give-up some corrosion resistance and pump bearing and seal lubrication. A friend of mine ran straight water in his 5.0 LX for years because he wanted max cooling. When he tried to replace the water pump the waterjacket was rusted so bad the bolts just pulled right out of the block. At rebuild time that 302 goes into the dumpster. There is some pretty good advice here on improving the system itself rather than getting it out of a bottle which should yield better results. [/QUOTE]
