I was wondering what was the pros and cons of running
pure water as coolant instead of 50/50? Im thinking about running pure water plus redline's water wetter because its suppose to make your car run 20 degrees cooler.
What do I need to do to prep for a 50 or 75 shot of nitrous? I plan on getting this in the future.
Whats the biggest tire I can run on my stock rim? Its either a 225 or a 235 rim I can't remember. One of my friends is running 255 kumhos on a 235 rim and it looks pretty sweet it doesn't bulge out at all.
If I can go that big I won't worry about rims. It will save me alot of money. Ill do a sleeper thing or somethin.
Thanks

I wouldnt run straight water... Just take my advice.

To run 50 to 75, nothing really for prep but colder spark plugs. 50-75 is a really safe shot. Make sure you buy a window switch and buy the safety stuff!

Just buy some 17X9, stick some 265s all around and call it a day

Runnig pure water with the water wetter is ok BUT only for race applications (read the back of the bottle) Use 50/50 coolant with a bottle of the water wetter and you'll be doin good. As far as preppin for a 50-75hp shot of nitrous I could tell you what I did but that's just me being a little on the safe side. Just make sure you buy everything you need, bottle heater, blow down tube, purge valve, TP swith, etc. and maybe a good fuel pump and injectors (but again that's just me)

The only experience I've had with water wetter was with track bikes, with 50/50 coolant in it, it ran cooler than with water and water wetter, water wetter is just safe, and is okay to get on the race track, i know it's SUPPOSED to run cooler but, in 4 different motorcycles it ran about 14 degrees hotter with water wetter than with 50/50 water/coolant.
