Redline Water Wetter

Well after hearing about how this suff really works, I decided to try it. I put alittle over half the bottle in my radiator coolant and the rest in my interecooler coolant. I usually run at 186* cruising and it bumped down to a constant 176*. I don't have an aeroforce gauge, but someone who does should see how much of a drop in IAT they can get from this.

I've used it in my coolant and intercooler since day 1. I figured it would do something. If you want to be really cool, Run just water and water wetter in you intercooler. It cools much better than dex-cool, Just make sure you change it back before it freezes.

I used this stuff years ago in my old Camaro. Dropped the coolant temp 20 degrees and ran at 160* consistently, even through these Houston summers. Have thought about using the stuff in the intercooler system and replacing the coolant with water and the Water Wetter. Rarely need antifreeze here anyway. Might wait to see what you guys with Interceptors find out first.

You can get it at Autozone, but here's a link to their site:

Yeah, I just sucked some coolant out so I didn't fill my tank up too much.

Quoted from their site:
"This product does not contain anti-freeze and its freezing point is 32şF or 0şC.:

It makes it a pain in the ass for anyone to report me when I've done something crazy

Seriously, my now ex g/f made my sig pic for me and said I shouldn't have my plate number posted. She had just gotten new software and really liked using that "swirl effect" tool

Bringing back and old thread but i used water wetter. I did it the same day for comparison. while crusing IAT was 103 my ITA2 was 113-117. Before it was 93 IAT and cusing 120. It did drop it a decent amount and it stays more consistnt. I used distilled water 2 bottles of watter wetter and a splash of dex cool for keeping the system from corrosion. I got it from my buddie who used it on his GTP back in the day.
