Redline WATER Wetter?? Good or Bad?

Ok,
I looked for thread on this, but I haven't found one yet?

Some of us Mustang guys that have run Vortech SuperChargers have experimented with Water Wetter. You put it into the Radiator and "SUPPOSEDLY" it changes the chemical composition of the water to RAISE the boiling point. We all know that once water begins to boil there is no heat dissipated. Therefore it allows the cars to run cooler. It also is rust fighter.

Ok, now that I recapped, here are my questions:

Number1:
Has anyone changed the thermostat in their Lightning to make it run cooler? Does it help or hurt performance?

Number2
Has anyone tried water wetter in their radiator?

Number3
Has anyone tried water wetter in their intercooler, since it runs with antifreeze?
