I used a product by NOS that was similar. Not much improvement, though.

Subject: Pro Blend - 40 Below
Listers -
Has anybody heard of use this product (pro blend, 40 Below). I was at a
gathering of British car nuts at a friends house for his wedding
anniversary a couple of weekends back, and the subject of overheating (go
figure) came up. An individual mentioned that his buddy with a chronically
overheating Jag E type that resides in the San Bernardino area (again, go
figure) used this stuff in the cooling system and noticed a big
improvement. It's *supposed* to lower the temps by up to 40 degrees, but
again I've herd that before (water wetter, didn't do a thing for me, and
that was without any antifreeze as they say for best results). The
instructions (basically for street driven cars) are
1.FOR BEST RESULTS: Based on 2 gallon system. Drain radiator and engine
block completely
2.Shake can vigorously
3.Fill system with 1 cans of 40 Below, 1 quart of anti-freeze and water.
Immediately go for a 30 minutes ride. Premixing 40 Below, anti-freeze and
water prior to adding to radiator is recommended.
DO NOT add stop leak, radiator / block sealer or other additives.
DO NOT use 100% water. DO NOT use 50/50 water and anti-freeze during warm
months.
A thermostat rated between 160 deg - 180 deg and a radiator cap between 12
- 17 lbs. is recommended.
Now at the time I couldn't find the stuff, but I now see that Jegs High
Performance now carries it but at about $23 a can, it's not exactly cheap.
If it works it would be worth every penny, but I don't want to spend $23
for just another can of miracle cure that doesn't do what it claims to. I
was of course thinking of using it in the GT6 for when it creeps up towards
the hot side on hot summer days idling in traffic. If anyone has had any
experience good or bad with this product I'd love to hear about it -
