I would say that antifreeze is the best. That being said, we run water with additive in it. The additive is to prevent pitting. With a dry block you have no leaks, no radiator, no pump, and no fan, but back to back runs and around the pits is the disadvantage. Another advantage of a dry block is that I saw a motor that froze and the water gallery cracked to the outside, free block, cheaper pulling, I only say this once. Antifreeze will remove the heat the best, but for us if it leaks or is on the hood, it is just water.

we use evan's coolant. works great. doesn't boil like water and antifreeze. its spendy but well worth it. have hit 225 degrees on the coolant gauge and no problems. also helps prevent rusting.
