    I tried water wetter and it may have helped 5º. It was only $12 and I needed a top-off anyway. I filled through the overflow tank.

    $12 for 5* difference is pretty good!

    I would wait and see if the machine runs hot. I remember reading that a long-time land speed racer found that his Ford Windsors ran best at 192 degrees - basically the OEM thermostat temp as far as I know.

    I have no idea if that is true for other engines, but I'd start with the factory thermostat and regular coolant, and if it runs at the recommended temperature, do nothing. I don't see how reducing temps below what the factory determined is a good operating temp would help anything.
