Default Throttle Body Bypass

Has anyone done this to their LS1? If you have did you notice any change in anything, i.e. throttle response, etc.?

performance gains are minimal if even present (~1-2 hp) but it helps to keep things clean when working on the motor, I'd say that's enough of an advantage to do it since it's so cheap.. Don't buy an actual kit just go to an auto store and get some 3/8" hose and some small ring clamps..

It's a "free" mod, and those do add up to something small

Well, I got the kit for $7.98 including shipping on ebay so I thought that was worth ordering. It should only take about 15 minutes to do right?
