Default ummmm is waterless coolant really worth the 30dollars a gallon

i drive a heavily modded rx7 fd. i have a performance radiator and im gonna be changing my oil to rotary engine oil when i come back. and yes i use fuel lube. i was wondering if i go with like evans gp coolant is it really worth it (i.e. engine temps drastically change, and supposedly help against detonation)

i wouldnt waste your money on it. You dont want engine temps too low anyways or your ecu will throw you into warmup road and your car will run different.

Wondering if you could define "heavily modded" for us.

im probably leaving a lot out, but thats the main/majority of the performance mods.
