Cooling system additive?

I'm going on a trip tomarrow in this nice Florida heat; does anyone think that Quick Kool additive is worth putting in the cooling system or not? (at least I think it's called Quick Kool). Or should things like that be avoided? Thanks

A third vote for Water Wetter. I had good results with the motorcycle and use it in a generator. Works great. If you need more info search some of the motorcycle forums.

Redline Water Wetter

Or Royal Purple, Purple Ice...

Both are surfactants that allow the water to wet out on the surface of the rad and improve the heat transfer....

Installed a 160 stat and had fans reset to on at 190 off at 185 running a 25% green prestone H2O mix with 1 bottle of Purple Ice.
In 107* heat,stop and go traffic on the freeway temp was holding around 185-193.

OK! I took the advice on Water-wetter and I just got back tonight.
I have to say I am very impressed! At least 15 to 20 degrees cooler!
Thanks everyone, By the way the "Vettes at the Village" car show in St. Augustine was AWESOME!
