Default Throttle Body Bypass

Anyone ever had an negative experience with this and is it worth messing with? I'm thinking about doing it. I've got a big race coming up and need all the help I can get, every little bit helps. My car is stored in the winter time so I doesn't see too much cold weather.

Don't rely on it winning your race.
It's a free mod. Doesn't do much.

I have never heard of any bad experiences with the bypass. I saw small improvement on my 99 z about 2 to 3 hps

nothing bad can happen, unless you live in Antartica year round.

Just for bragging rights. I race my buddies 04 GT a few weeks ago at the track and beat him by over a second every time. He ran out and traded it a week later for an 03 Mach 1 with "7 grand worth of mods." Take that for what its worth. We are headed back to the track in a few weeks for the rematch.

Mach=LS1 Fbod
It's a driver's race, stock to stock, up 'till the 1/4 mile. Gearing is in their favor.
