Default Waterless cooling

I just watched a video on Jay Leno's garage today about Evan's waterless cooling. Seems like a good idea because there isn't water to corrode the internals. As anyone used this or heard about it, and is it really worth the price? I wouldn't mind switching mine to it, especially when it sits in the winter time.

Your cooling system won't rust if you use Distilled water. The minerals cause rust and corrosion. Never ever.... use tap water!

Evans coolant is supposed to be some real good stuff, and might be worth a few hp. It is expessive though, and requires a complete flush.

I've been running it in my monte for years. It doesn't mix well with water so you have to completly drain the motor/radiator/heater core. They do sell a prep fluid if you can't do a complete flush.
