Speaking as a chemist, EG both lowers freezing point and raises boiling point - 2nd law of thermodynamics. That is a fact. Also, the Box radiators, being Al, do not need a wetting agent versus water. I suspect that is a gimmick here.

What to me is a question is, when you say you've used the redline stuff "successfully", what does that mean? Aside from track rules, you could not have used 50/50 EG/H2O successfully? Also, given that H2O has higher heat capacity than EG, doesn't that mean you need to both utilize that added heat capacity (ie bigger engine) as well as dissipate the added heat more effectively (more radiators, fans, etc)?
