The way I understand it, water wetter just reduces the water surface tension, enabling more contact area for the coolant. Never did a before and after IAT comparison.

i always just ran tap water in my intercooler and added WIX corrision inhibitor. Same thing all the big rigs run that ive worked on.

Only time i added antifreeze was in the dead of winter.
