Coolant change options

Hello

My car is used as a track toy atm and running a Harrop kit

Coolant as far as I know has never been changed. So this is a must and might aswell change the charger coolant at same time

Are people using only the oem fluid mixed at 50:50

I have heard of people for track work increasing the water ratio % to aid in cooling and adding additives to reduce temps further

Any first hand experience in this would be great?

I always ran water with water wetter in my race cars in the summer. Put coolant in for winter storage.

Coolant is slippery as hell and a lot of tracks prefer you run water in competition.
