coolant throttle body bypass

Doing the bypass keeps the intake charge cooler, thus denser, thus more power. As little as that tube is, not much coolant is flowing through there - I don't know if it's worth it. I have no number to back that up, maybe someone else does.
I haven't done it on my truck, but I did do it on my Z. The LT1 has a great deal of coolant flowing through its throttle body.

I did it to my truck didn't feel any extra power but it cant hurt. It defintly kept the TB much much cooler. I live in Florida so freezing isn't a problem. I didn't couple my hose because there is enough ro run from the engine to the radiator.

I did it and it does keep it cooler which is good here in TX. I feel that it may have helped a LITTLE but nothing very big. I guess every little bit helps though. I found these dyno results if you want to check them out.
