does the throttle bypass help out any or is it even worth doing. i dont really know what it does but i know it has been discussed on here before so any information on this would help.

 

I've just figured out what it is, (I think)
You bypass the coolent that is ran throu the throttle body, The Idea is to not let your 200deg coolent heat up your engines incoming air.

 

I don't know if it helps, but I did it. What could it hurt?? At least till it gets cold, which it never does in La.

 

Any mod (short of something that would f*** up the truck) you can do in 10 minutes or less with $5 cost has my vote, whether it works or not. I did it, haven't noticed a difference, but I don't have anything to lose here in AZ, I will never need hot coolant through the TB.

 

imo...I dont wana do it. But for alot of people. Its jsut another thing they can add to there sig HAHA!

 

Well with the low gains of 6-8rwhp, your not really going to notice it, but from the dyno results ive seen on several fbodies, for $5 and 10 minutes, its worth it.

5/8"" hose clamps
3/8" hard line (i used a/c colling line)
3/8" or 5/8" vaccuum caps for the throttle body

People like BMR trying to sell the kit for $15, such a rip.

 

I did it. I didn't feel a difference in SOTP performance. It does give you HP just so little that its unnoticable, but its there. Every horse more the engine produces... the quicker the truck will run. So if I had to, I would do it again. Just my .02

it probably dosent do anything, but i did it for peace of mind. ive heard less than 1 hp. definately not worth it wherever it gets cold, but here in texas im safe.

 

its emissions crap to keep the tb blades from icing up hasent hurt nething yet and its been like that for years

 

Do you have to burp the cooling system afterward? Or do you need to replace the little bit of coolant that you loose while removing the hoses from the TB? I have been wanting to do this for some time now but am a little nervous since I haven't done anything like this before.
