Default Coolant Dex/Water percentages

I am getting ready to make some changes and am wanted to hear some opinions on coolant percentages with Dexcool.

I already know the method. No confusion there. I am just wanting input (opinions also welcome here) for my particular climate and build. I conducted a search and did not find the information I was looking for.

Very simply put its a full bolt on HCI 440 build with a 250 shot in anywhere from -20F - 100F and I don't want to change coolant with the seasons..

To not freeze at -20*F you're going to have to be at something like 40% dexcool minimum I'd expect

Yep, what Carson said. You need to follow the dexcool instructions then for at least -20F, I would even go a bit past that. No reason listening to what other people say/do.

And use distilled water for the rest.
