Title: Cooling !!
Post by: joe raptor on May 07, 2020, 10:25:05 AM
Hey brothers I'm about to flush the cooling system and I was wondering if I can use the :
Summit RacingĀ® Non-Glycol Racing Coolant on the car ! , just to keep the temperatures in check,I live in Florida no worries about freezing temperatures ; opinions are very welcome and I know I have to use the Orange one ;) ! Thanks and be safe out there :)

As long as the system is completely flushed, yes you can use it.  Instructions should come with the Summit coolant if there are specialized steps to take.

In hotter temps, you can lower the amount of coolant in the mix somewhat.  You can run all the way down to 30/70 (30% coolant).  You can add Redline Water Wetter or Royal Purple Ice or similar products.  You can also have your tuner change when the fans come on and for how long.  Combined with a colder TStat, that will really help keep temps under control.

I second the above with regard to watter wetter.  I have dropped my cylinder head temps 5-6c under high flow load.  (idle is just effed no matter what ..)
