[QUOTE="cujet, post: 22241, member: 19501"] propelyne glycol has about the same heat transfer rate as regular anti freeze. It is not as good at transfering heat as pure water (the best) water wetter does not increase the heat transfer capability of water or antifreeze. It is claimed to reduce hot spots caused by vapor pockets (steam). Prop glycol can help if a high pressure cap is used and a high temp is run. It tends to reduce hot spots and "steam pockets". The trick is the high pressure and temps though. It can increase cooling capacity only in this fashon and works best on poor engine designs with lots of hot spots (ex. an old cast iron V8 with high compression) Aluminum conducts heat far faster than cast iron and hot spots are reduced as a result.
