Short answer: no

Long answer: It really won't make a difference. If you want to do it, do it. If not, then don't.

its so easy its not a waste of time but if it does add power its mabey 1hp so just do it it takes a whole minute ha ha

just do it, only takes a second. and anything to keep air inlet temps down is a good thing.

extremely insignificant... It passes through about 1/4" of the lower section of the throttle body and thats it. Less than 1" of total surface area inside the 'passage'. I removed mine for the purpose of reducing the possible leaks (2 less hose clamps) and changed the 2 hoses to 1....

Your call.

what is u brazed the opining up on the tube and then caped the radiatior with a cap
any one done this

I would leave it as is, run it to the Radiator. That little system helps bleed the steam out of the Heads. It's not as delicate as a LT1, but it helps.

how does it help bleed? It's got no vent, no surface area to speak of. It's just kind of a high point (more likely to catch bubbles and hold them.

Pull that line off of the Radiator while the Engine running and tell me if it just holds bubbles..lol

Look at this way, it'll cost you a few bucks in parts, and doesn't heat up the air being sucked in. It's not worth too much thought.

Did you all cap the TB openings where the hose passed through?

the_merv

iTrader: (88)

^^You don't have to do that..some Coolant might come out when you take the lines off..but there is nothing there to worry about.

I just wanted to make 100% sure there wasn't a chance of a vac leak
