Default using TB bypass tubes to cool the TB

i was readin the write up on how to port the throttle body and it came to my mind.
has anyone used anytype of liquid to cool the TB through the bypass tubes?

i heard that the 04 lightnings use the AC frion to cool the intercooler, i was thinking something like that?

has anyone tried it?

Its a waste of time bypassing the TB. You will probably see no gains by doing it.

ive done the bypass even if i didnt get no gains i feel better knowing that no hot coolant is going through it, but what i was talking about was running some other type of liquid to cool it instead.

no that i think about it, for u nitrous guys, how about running ur purge through the bypass tubes to cool it down a bit,

just a thought

Not worth it. The tb is short and intercoolers are long.

As in the air isn't in the tb long enough for it to heat or cool the air.
