I am running Water Wetter for the first time at BRIC and since I am running
to the upper limits of temp with my stock radiator, I will be a good
candidate for a test. I put one bottle in....should it be more?

check out Redline water wetter. The have a really good web page,
actually.
Water wetter was first developed as a commercial anti-corrosive
additive,
and later used as a temp reducer. it actually works, in both senses
- it
stops corrosion, and it makes the car run far cooler. I've
personally
experienced a 30 deg drop in temps ( 220 deg to 190 deg, between
sessions on
the same day at Mid Ohio), just from adding a half a litre of water
wetter,
and I don't care if anyone believes me! The Midget and I know for
sure!
The only thing I'm not sure of is does it also have a lube factor
for the
water pump, but I haven't had a water mupm fail, so maybe it does.
