I've heard it is good especially if you are having detonation problems. It works well in extracting heat from the cylinder heads, thus helping get rid of pinging.

I wouldn't buy it otherwise, unless you are having overheating problems.

I've used it. It helped some. Didn't lower the temps; but it made the fan able to cool the motor off faster, and made it cool down faster when it had been idling for a while and then got moving again. But, my cooling system worked fine to begin with, wasn't broken or inadequate, so I didn't see any 20 degrees difference.
