You ask...

Stock metal surge tank on my FE. In September I'm flushing the system, re-filling with Evan's waterless coolant and running a 7 lb cap if I can't find a 4 lb cap. Oh, and make sure whatever cap you use it's a "recovery style" cap and plumb your surge tank overflow to a recovery container.

Water and antifreeze mix? That is SO "yesterday"... But, if you insist, go with 50/50 mix, not 80/20. Forget the water wetter, with the antifreeze it's a waste of time. Straight water AND water wetter, well OK then.
