I am running Evans Waterless Coolant although car is not on the road yet, have had no issues so far but engine hasn't been pushed but has been up to temperature in the garage on hot days without issue. Good points so far no issues with removing header cap when hot, bad points are that it feels strange when it leaks and you have to wipe it up, almost sticky, but not and is tad more expensive that water. I'm happy so far, cars running an LS3.
Must agree its odd to mop up so far things are looking good . Car ticks over now without boiling up and temp are a lot lower for some reason . Also seems strange how you can take the radiator cap off with no pressure just need a dry day and a traffic jam
