W/O EOC. Your vette should have an external EOC, not a cooler in the Rad.

related question....I've used Water Wetter in older cars (antiques/hot rods). Would it be better to use it alone or can you mix it with normal coolant or?

Yes, you can add Water Wetter to the normal Dexcool/water mixture, no problem.
