Going much stronger than 50/50 is a waste of money, as 50/50 is nearly ideal for maximum freeze protection. Higher ratios of antifreeze to water than that actually raise the freezepoint of the coolant, and don't continue to drop it. The antifreeze and water work together to produce the freezepoint, and too much of one or the other reduced effectiveness. The higher concentrations also reduce the cooling capacity of the mix, as antifreeze mixes do not cool as well as straight water. John Deere now makes an excellent premixed coolant called Cool-Gard. It is made with distilled water and there is also no need to dump in any additives to the coolant. It comes in 2.5 gallon jugs. I would get some of that, dump it in, and you're worries will be over.
