Default Evans NPG+ in a daily driver?

This stuff has a boiling point of 375deg, so it seems like it would be a more logical approach than fooling with thermostats and fan temps. That 212deg mark always gets me wondering what condition my hoses are in, with NPG+, I believe I could look at 230deg all day long and not give a rat's azz. Supposed to be a drain/fill retrofit. The only possible down side I see here is higher temp intake air.

If you're unfamiliar with Evans NPG+, here's their propaganda;

Anybody using it? Thoughts/impressions?

Read an article in GMHTP and switching appears to be a pain in the ****. You may need the specialized NPG coolant pump, NPG radiator etc etc. Inthe article they had to switch everything. So i don't know if it would be it or not

I believe that's true for the original formula NPG. The original stuff is higher viscosity so you need a different pump, rad, etc to get the desired flow rate. The NPG+ is supposed to eliminate that part of the equation due to it's lower vis.
