Redline Water Wetter-other products?

I have used Redline water Wetter in a couple of my cars in the past, usually on the track in road race conditions. The fluids get changed after the events so I do not have any long term experience. I have seen some threads on EVOm that give negative reviews. Are there any other products that will work to reduce coolant temps by increasing heat transfer effectiveness of the water. Also do any of these " other products have any anticorrosion, lubrication properties?. Thanks.

The DEI prodict is advertised as being for air to water intercoolers, is it good for radiators too?

I've worked in auto parts for years and I always use Redline Water Wetter in all of my cars. Never heard anything bad about it from any of my customers. I've heard of the DEI one but have never sold it before.

The Buick Grand National community long ago forswore Redline Water Wetter, and instead use straight water in their radiators, plus an additive called, RMI-25 Cooling System Treatment.
