Has anyone tried "40 Below" in the radiator? Would you recommend putting this in a 1992 corvette?

I used Water Wetter in my 94 and the temps dropped about 5-10 degrees.

Most people see nothing , it even tells you on the label to use with water.Here is a quote from one review .The review on (Below 40) is almost the same..WW

According to Redline, WaterWetter®’s greatest benefits accrue to those cars running straight water in their cooling system– which doesn't include anyone living in snow country. Other websites have tested WaterWetter® and also concluded that the overall decrease in temperature is marginal.

The quote says the "greatest benefits accrue to those cars running straight water in their cooling system" but not that it doesn't work mixed with antifreeze.
