cooling in the summer

I'm planning on running all water(and water wetter) this summer in my FD. Has anyone here noticed a significant difference in the Temps with this change? I know that I run this mixture in my bike and it stays so cool that sometimes it scares me. Any input?

I would at least run 25% coolant, even the Water Wetter bottle recommends using some coolant. Water Wetter helps improve the heat transfer properties of the water but it doesnt have the corrosion inhibitors that the coolant does. Before I got my Evans I ran 25/75 coolant/water and a bottle or water wetter. There was a noticable improvement over 50/50.

I dont know yet, this is going to be my first summer with Evans. All I can say so far is that I like the idea of having 0 pressure in my cooling system.
