[DeTomaso] Cooling system additives to improve cooling

[Asa Jay Laughton]

I'm actually going to be trying this product out next:

http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/rdcb.aspx

I'll be doing a fluid change in the cooling system on my Pantera this  
winter, along with making any repairs necessary.  When I refill, I  
plan on doing a controlled experiment first without using any  
additive, and then using this new Coolant Boost from Amsoil.

We'll see what happens. :)

> I found strangely enough that 2 bottles of Lubegard Kool-it mixed with
> water wound up lowering my temperature on average 10-15 degrees.
> I wouldn't have believed it as I have tried using Water Wetter etc with
> no resulting improvement.
> I have a 393 stroker with 11.5:1 compression and it completely
> overpowered my stock system. I eventually went to a Fluidyne radiator,
> Spal cooling fans (2 pushers and 1 sucker), High flow waterpump, 180
> degree Robert Shaw stat etc but the cooling was always a little
> marginal.
> 195 degrees or so on a warm day in traffic. I flushed the system in the
> summer and added the Lubegard with water and now I am running 170
> degrees or so on the
> highway and 180 degrees in traffic. I'll have to wait until next summer
> to see how it does on a hot day but it has never run this cool even in
> the winter.
> I can't really explain it as I was using a water plus Norosion mixture
> before. The only minor differences are that I am running a 10-30 Amsoil
> synthetic now instead of the dino oil
> and I am dialed up a couple of jets larger due to a low restriction

> what?
