(1)No advantage (2) 50/50 protects a system to -35F below zero and more than 50/50 or 70/30 (cant remember which but iirc it's 70/30) the freezing point starts to rise . What Doc Fiberglass said ANY antifreeze hinders heat transfer and if your having a marginal cooling issue (& everything is fixed/changed that should be) then some antirust additive in the water w no antifreeze would be the way to go and water wetter may have rust inhibitors (I'm not sure). I haven't used any type of water wetter so I cant comment but the theory sounds valid live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

I have run it in a 360 for nearly ten years. It does allow running temperatures up to 360 degrees F. I have not seen any reduction in detonation, as claimed for getting rid of the 'nucleate boiling' which is just a fancy name for little steam bubbles.
