Default Water Wetter?

Hey, I posted this on the "Other forum" but thought us FL people would have an even better idea!

My 1996 LT4 runs 192 constatly during cruising, climbs to the 220s in HEAVY trafic, or sitting at a drive through for a while it will go to 230.

While normal temps for a C4, I'm wondering if water wetter could improve on it further.

I've used it in my 66 for years. I have a 160 degree thermostat and that's where it stays. Before I put a new radiator in, the WW made about a 10 degree difference, plus it has a water pump lubricant in it. Definately runs cooler.

Drag-racers have been using it for years, as it helps cooling-down the car between rounds quicker and easier.

One bottle didn't seem to make a difference for me, but adding a second bottle did.
