Never heard of this but with all the MILLIONS of cars out in the world in hot/cold climates cooling at the proper thermostat temperatures and prob most of them never being flushed/maintained they still cool fine. Just use water plus additive for the track and 50/50 for the other times. My car made 600+ hp and it has a Stock radiator/fan, thick intercooler, Air Conditioning, and hot NJ/NY summers.

No need to reinvent the wheel...if you're overheating then theres a problem and fix it...but interested in hearing about this

Our cars are incredibly efficient in cooling. Unless you have a dedicated track car, why bother? There are other things you should be concerned with in terms of the performance
