Its safe for the LSJ and I do use it, both for the engine and H/E. I have also logged a difference in temps on my IAT2's. However, you will not see anywhere close to 30 deg. cooler. The thermostat controls that period. You will see more consistent temperatures on the engine, especially in hot weather.
Water Wetter is a surfacant, not a coolant so really it is just allowing the coolant to do its job more efficiently.

I have it in mine. It dropped my coolant temp about 5-7 degrees. I have loved it in my car. It will drop it 30 degrees if you go from a mixture of 50/50 coolant and water to all water with the water wetter.

ive used this stuff only in aplications were i use water only as coolant (race stuff) for an anti corosive. if your cooling system is up to snuff you wont see any difference in street driving. the only way ive seen a difference is with a race vehicle with a rad that may be a tad small so the motor is getting a bit hotter than ideal.

I use the Royal Purple ICE stuff. It works great as far as I can tell I didn't datalog, but it seemed to keep things cooler afterwards.
