[TR] Read the graph at 50/50 mix

[Dave]

Sure you can.  Heck, they cool engines with air which has a specific
heat of of 0.24.  But you have to have a system designed to do so.  But
(and I think this is what you are trying to say) a 100% glycol system
will not cool as well as a system with partial or full water solution.
So running full glycol will raise the boiling point but the lower
specific heat will result in a higher temp once the capacity of the
cooling system is reached (thermostat is full open).

Like I said before, the pressurized cooling system is the best way to
raise the boiling point.

scroll all the way down and read about specific heat capacity too.
you can't cool your engine with 100% glycol - it won't transfer enough
heat

Note how  slightly higher 50/50 boils.  The water component is the
limited.
  Note boiling point as you reach 100% glycol.
Note comments on cap  pressure.
Hope link below isn't  stripped.
