Coolant increases the boiling point of the cooling system. PSI increases the boiling point of the cooling system.
Water's boiling point is 100 C / 212 F
50/50 coolant/water mix increases boiling point to 106 C / 223 F
70/30 coolant/water mix increases boiling point to 113 C / 235 F
And for every pound of pressure in the cooling system the boiling point is rises by 3 F.

someone needs to get laid? That's hillarious! I guess you haven't met me or the family Greg. Sorry about spreading some knowledge for you. Just thought you may not want to have that problem again. I have been working on my educations seeing as I work in the automotive industry so I thought I would share. Now about the getting laid part... I guess you would know better than I would?! Then again... Look at your post count! Someone spends a bit more time in front of a computer than even me!

A couple other facts for you guys
.Running straight water in any rotary is a death sentence for it eventually. Coolant stops electrolysis, the aluminum and iron will eat each other apart faster than regular corrosion. Do a google on it.
Water transfers heat better than coolant but the problem is it will boil to easily at the localized hot spots.

I just filled my 83 GSL and all I do is fill with 1 gallon of coolant and top the rest off with water. Probably gives around a 70/30 mix. according to FSM 9-10 qts
