Sorry about the ,
TB, if you want to use the aluminum tank for meth you may run into some corrosion problems. See if they can coat it or anodize the inside somehow.
Back on topic. I have some experience with NPG+ coolant. My dad tried it in his C5 Corvette with strange results. The car would run the temp past 200* everywhere he drove with the fans running the whole time. We checked over the whole cooling system for problems and ended up changing the coolant back over to Dexcool/distilled water and the temp dropped right back down to 176* on cruise. I hope his case is isolated, I don't mean to say that all cars will react the same.

thats exactly how my truck ran with it too. but what i was thinking is it was disapating the heat better. but i never got to tune with it since i had to switch the water pump and lost it all ( 150 bucks down the poop shoot) i now have 30% dex/70% water with 2 bottles of water wetter. and i run around 177-185 in decent weather.

Response from Evans:
Devin.................running hotter is not uncommon with our coolant. It is a heavier viscosity then a 50/50 mix . It is also correct to say that when the motor runs hotter we are taking more heat out of the motor.
it will also keep the internal metal temps cooler by up to 100 deg, which allows for the radiator temps to be higher, because its pulling more heat out of the motor.
