if you could pickup 10 or better HP from a coolant change
 
would you be willing to spend $50-75 on the coolant to do it?

im just wondering because a buddy of mine actualy made some coolant and has documented proof of power and tourqe gains just from switching to it, its also been tested and proven to be easier on metals like aluminum and what not and not eat them up like some coolants do and help cars run cooler..

i aint pushin his product or anything, but i wanna see how many people would actualy buy it if it were readily available? im going to be running it after building my motor

ok before anyone says crap, we have dyno sheets, but i have to snag them from my buddy to show the actual gains, so please no bullshit comments, im simply asking a question out of curiousity

yes since a normal coolant exhange usually cost around that much if you get it done somewhere, and using maitnance to gain 10hp is a plus

If it works I want to invest in it.

if your coolant is acidic(sp) it can creat voltage like a bayyery and ---- up cooant temp sensor reading and other good ----, is this what you mean or?

haha i honestly dont know how this stuff he made works, i'd have to ask him.. but it was tested in 4 diffrent cars on the dyno and showed gains in all of them.. it helps transfer heat better then normal coolants, i'd have to ask him if you want more specifics *shrugs*

i'll get the dyno sheets when i can, and post results when i switch mine over as well..

smellysohc if you want some pm me and i can put you in touch with the guy in town that sells it for him

no this coolant is proven to be less accidic then most actualy.. we ran it in my boss's race car and it actualy lowered the temp to almost unrunnable temps for what he needs (he runs dirt track races and temps need to stay above 180ish i think)

Are you talking about water wetter? Thats the only stuff I know that actually does cool better than just coolant or water

so what kinda cars had these gains.. like 1000hp race cars that can easily get 10hp from 20deg cooler temps or a 100hp civic junker???

Since it's like 70 some bones. Maybe he's running straight water wetter and that's why it's so much. lol. I think I saw this on a early morning infomercial or something that Ron Popeil was selling. "YOU SET AND FORGET IT!!" :P

a mid to late 80s CRX junker, a crysler seabreeze (sp?), a dodge neon, and my boss's race car.. each one showed some kind of gains
