    Like the title says. More KR after adding a 50/50 rather than a 30/70 after finding my IC lines frozen this morning. Could this be damage to IC core from freezing or just because less water is now in the IC and its not cooling as well?

    does it idle rough? if so i'm guessing the core cracked/warped and there's a vaccum leak

    Pumping pretty good. Id like to find something to measure flow. I never ran it while it was frozen

    Runs fine I drove it 60 miles today.

    I did some googling and found that water cools better than the antifreeze. so I think my mix is now 60-70 antifreeze and 30-40 water. I thought I bought a 50/50 bottle.. nope lol just regular green.

    and to top it off its a nice 57* out in Delaware today so my car wants timing which could be another factor in this as this is the first cold season this car will see after the top swap and I am not sure what to expect. I also dont plan on driving the car after this month.

    Water is the coolant.

    Anti-freeze is the anti-freeze.

    I found with the intercooler, outside temps never matter.

    It always ran great.
