I'm just north of Atlanta (Canton) and we do get some frigid wx every winter.  I forget the protection level but seems like I'm good to about 15 below.  In any case, if it is cold it will stay in the climate controlled basement anyway. The water wetter helps with the cooling, (see  http://www.redlineoil.com/products_coolant.asp ) and less anti freeze and more water makes it cool better also. ..Denny

Denny,  How cold does it get where you are??  Will the 30% antifreeze protect to 0 degrees or maybe  -10??  Or did you reduce the antifreeze because the Redline helps the cooling??
It seems like a lot of you guys live in the warmer climate.

Hi Clint;

Full factory shroud, factory 7 blade, clutch replaced several years ago when the  Radiator was rodded & tanked.  Put in a bottle of Redline water wetter and reduced antifreeze to 30 % (vs 50).. haven't driven it in hot weather since.. Denny
