You might get a quicker answer in the Forced Induction Forum:

If you are in temps that get down below freezing, run 50/50 Dexcool with water wetter (if the coolant in the system is more of a orange'ish since it was first filled with dexcool), or run straight super cool with water wetter if the fluid now in the system is more of a solid pinkish since it was first filled with super cool with water wetter instead (straight super cool with water wetter has antifreeze in it to prevent from freezing).

If you are sure that your not going to get the car in temps below freezing, then you can run just distilled water with water wetter only isntead.

Note, it's a lot easier/cheaper to just mix up 3 gallons of 50/50 Dexcool with 12 oz of water wetter, since you use the same mix in both the radiator fluid, and the S/C inter cooler fluid supply as well. Hence can have a gallon of the mix with a gallon of DIY 50/50 meth mix in the back cubby storage in the back if you need to top either system off.

As for coolant, Edelbrock states in the install manual to use the same coolant that the engine will use, which is 50/50 Dexcool in the vet. If the installer used 50/50 Dexcool (should be light orange) is still up in the air isntead. Hence if the coolant is Green, then drain the system to get it out, do a quick flush with distilled water, then fill the system back up with the 50/50 Dexcool with water wetter isntead.

Simply, do not mix the standard Green antifreeze with orange Dex cool, and never use the standard Green anti free in the Vet radiator system!!!
