Default What coolant Ratio?

Just curious come summer what coolant/water ratios everyone is running? Straight water w/ additives... 30/70, 40/60, etc...



I'm currently running 50/50 coolant to water... Thinking of draining 1/3 of my coolant out and replacing with water and Redline's Water Wetter... I read some good results from Turbo mag a while back about 30/70 coolant to water w/ Water Wetter...



Just curious to hear what everyone else is running both on the street during the summer and at the track!

What's your current setup, and why do you feel the need to run cooler?

I've used Water Wetter as a band-aid when a cooling system wasn't quite adequate for a vehicle with reasonable success. Especially when combined with an anti-boil compound. I don't bother using it on a properly functioning vehicle though. I run 50/50 all year unless I have issues.
