I've always run 50/50 coolant/water and never had a problem with the stock radiator, but bought a pwr just to be a little cooler. What is your setup? Do you have any pics?

Is it true that WaterWetter causes a mess when you blow a head gasket? I heard it caused a disgusting mess..

Use an Integra radiator in my Civic with a B18C1, just to be safe.
