Supercharger coolant addditive question

Yes guys recently saw a coolant additive like Royal purple ice and some others used to help cool down coolant temps..just wondering if it would have any benefit or be possible to be ran in the LSJ intercooler system to help cool the coolant and cores? Just a thought

I use it but think it's best in hotter aplications like a radiator. It reduces micro bubbles when hot. Water cools and bubbles don't. Can't hurt and it lets you run less antifreeze concentrate and still gives corrosion protection. Corrosion reduces heat transfer and a higher percentage of water cools better so yeah, use it.

DEI makes an additive specifically for air to water intercooler systems. i put it in my car last time i filled it, but hard to say the benifits because i went from a cobra heat exchanger to a zzp.

Thanks for the input guys! I really appreciate the responses! I'll have to give them a shot especially the DEI one since its tailored for our kind of inter cooling! Just a thought with this crazy hot weather here in pa..it's taking a toll on my car and performance difference in a hot day! It's a GM stage 3 car so I have the dual pass and functioning IC pump..just looking to get some aided cooling..I know I need a zzp intercooler for sure
