Question redline water wetter?

Hmm.. I saw some very informative posts from Road Rage (as usually) about water wetter. I got a bottle just because I needed my mail order to jump over $100

The concept makes sense but I have a few questions/concerns regarding it.

Since I am up here in the northeast I would assume a higher water to antifreeze mixture could work against me in colder temps. So would I benefit from just pouring the whole bottle into the current mixture (probably 50/50)?

Should I wait until the next radiator flush, 30k miles I think, before using it?

Should I use it at all, or just add it to the line of bottles on the shelf, jk

Honestly, on a daily driver car not being raced is it worth using?

I read their information on the product. It looks like it's really targeted for racing applications. If your look at that cooling chart for the 350 CI engine the 50/50 with or without the water wetter were just about the same.

For the daily driver, I'd say shelve it....

i have it ,im in florida,with little concern for freezing temps i went with a 80-20 mix...also i have a high pressure radiator cap 1.38 kg/cfm,i intend on adding a lower temp thermostat...i believe, and think dyno's have shown, that the type S is running, especially when hot ,very near the threshold of pre ignition ,and many are experienceing a retard spark situation,my plans beyond the thermo,are,trans cooler,and ,one step colder plug,denso IK 22,ofcourse im modded already,with headers,cai,and am anxeiously awaiting RES,and MMII
BTW at 10$ a bottle...not much to think about...it cant hurt...
