As a auto tech you should know that if your cooling system is up to par you don't need anything else besides the correct mix of coolant.

will it says it will lower engine temp and i have used it in my 2001 cr500 dirt bike and it works well in that was just wondering if anybody tried it in a c3 vette it says it will work in car as well since these cars like to run on the hot side

Tried a few products like that and found the money was better spent on lunch. All you need is a good cooling system/water +coolant. If you still have an issue something needs attention

I have also used it in the bikes with good results. If the cooling system in your Vette is borderline I would expect it would work there as well. I your system works well with a regular coolant blend, I would stick with that.

Engine Ice and Redline water wetter are the same thing. A surface surfactent that effectively increases water to metal surface contact. Works best with no anti-freeze in race cars, but maybe some benifit in daily drivers. Wouldn't bet on seeing much difference though.

Yes, it's used for cars that run distilled water only in their cooling systems. Replaces that which is lost when not running a standard coolant. but....if you take your car to the track and race it and dump YOUR coolant on THERE track with anti-freeze. You will find out just how pissed off others on site can get. High horsepower cars and anti-freeze do not mix. Ethylene Glycol is not readily burnt off like straight water.
...very, very unsafe condition and that lane will not come back that day/night. Track prep is critical to High HP cars and they may not let you race on THERE track again. And most don't forget!
So... if this isn't you than just run clean 50/50 EG/h2o mix.
