thanks. Cruising at 70mph on the way home today it stayed at 190 the whole time, but as soon as I slowed to 45-50 it started rising. I got another bottle of water wetter today and i'll put it in tomorrow. I'll post in here how much the temp drops on my next ride home.

I got a new cap and it doesn't hiss.

I should have took it in for warranty work.

Moose, my Coolant temps stay in the 180-200 range cruising. I think you have bad radiator cap. I shouldnt hiss.

I dont think my installer put in any Water Wetter during my install. I plan to add 1 bottle to the engine coolant, and a half bottle to the intercooler.

Let me know what Steve says about those blocks. I'm not ready for a new block, but if it blows up, well, **** happens.

I plan to install a new radiator at the same time as the shortblock. That new FRPP Aluminator 3V shortblock looks good. Anyone know if they are going to make it a long block with their CNC'd heads? The 4 valve one is like $6300 MSRP for the complete long block. Not too bad, might call Steve and see what he can get them for.

I just have one, i flushed the coolant when I installed my new clutch. I'm sure you could put 2 or more in and just add less antifreeze. The bottle recommends atleast 15% antifreeze for a street car.

Straight water and redline water wetter is supposed to drop the temp 28* according to the bottle.

If I wasnt so lazy I would run water and Water Wetter in the summer and switch in the winter.

Maybe someday I will be more motivated.

Does anyone think it would hurt anything to run a whole bottle in the intercooler?

The instructions recommend it.
