Question:Supercharger Coolant Reservoir

I assume you use 50/50 coolant, but any particular brand or type? Anyone add Water Wetter or similar?

Thanks for the replies. Interesting that nobody added a cooling additive.

Not yet, but I have had limp mode issues on track so I am considering it. Anything that will help is good.

I'm in Texas. It's been 100* every day this week. No real need to mix with coolant (my garage is foam insulated too so it rarely gets above 100* nor below 50*)

I added that entire bottle of water wetter to my 6 gal reservoir. If nothing else, it will minimize corrosion and help the longevity of the pumps.

So, I installed it today. I had some left over heat shield that I cut to put on the bottom and took some black header wrap that I had and wrapped the lower hose.

This is smart and I didn't think of it. Thanks for the idea! I definitely noticed that it's right in the path of rising extreme heat from the headers though.
