Default Redline Water Wetter

So I've decided to start this topic after searching and finding nothing..looked at FAQ's and didn't see anything either. I'm sure someone (xviper) will throw a link at me but I'm curious about if anyone is using this product???

I'll be doing a couple autox's and track days within the next 2 months so I was thinking if my car is ever going to heat up it will be soon. My mods (see sig) don't involve the engine so I'm guessing that will have nothing to do with my situation.

Advice???

Remember seeing a thread on this a while back, not to mention I think I asked the same question last year around this time. While I think you will see improvements, I have heard to be careful with which antifreeze you use, because with the addition of RWW it could turn the fill can black or something like that. Some people in here have also said that a few years back RWW was forced to change the composition and it isnt as effective as it was then and that adding soap in the coolant is almost as good. Ill let other fill you in on that one tho.

I put some in my car, I couldn't tell any difference, but it is in there. It's another one of those placebo things. I put it in there so there must be a difference.

I run Water Wetter and distilled water only during summer months. Has helped keep things a liitle cooler. More cooling mods on the way, Hondata, etc.
All water wetter does is reduce the amount of foaming (bubbles) in the cooling system allowing more water (and less air) to contact the hot surfaces and transfer the heat. Dont see how a soap detergent would reduce bubbles?!...
