Can you use this stuff with antifreeze? I can't figure it out from their site and the silly video demonstration.

There's no point. The whole idea of Water Wetter is to provide improved cooling and some corrosion protection without requiring anti-freeze. Its a better deal for summer, but you will need to go back to AF in winter.

Not sure of the cause but I have seen this stuff turn to a gelatinious goo. I won't use it for that reason. I have a friend who uses it in his 954RR (bad bike) and he loves it.

Yes, you can use it with antifreeze (says on the bottle I,m looking at), Racers seem to sware by it, I just put it in my race car so I'll let you know how it goes. I have never tried it, but everyone i know that has used it thinks its great.

I have used H2O+WW for many summers with no apparent ill effects....just flush antifreeze out in the spring and back in for the fall. The car should run cooler with water and WW as opposed to antifreeze, but I have never actually scientifically tested this with hard numbers. I'm a believer, but it's just one component in keeping '44 water temps down.

Oh...BTW....if you ever blow a hose or lose antifreeze while on track you will understand why many racers use WW and some tracks have banned antifreeze (it's slicker than oil mixed with snot). A 50/50 mix of water and antifreeze is like a skating rink on pavement, but the small amount of WW mixed with water is no more slippery than rain. (Blow a hose with antifreeze in turn one facing traffic just ONCE and you will become a believer in no antifreeze also)

Yeah I'm looking at any and all options for keeping the 944 temps down. I wanted to see if I could just pour it in so I didn't have to do the fill/vent procedure. I hope that VIR isn't as hot as it was last weekend. I'm going to yank the condensor next, it's just impeding airflow and adding weight.
