Default Throttle Body Bypass?

I'm think I'm going to do the throttle bypass mod, but I've got a few questions before. Are their any bad side affects of it? What kid of gains should i expect(i know its minimal but still).

Dyno results from this mod http://www.ws6.com/mod-4.htm

It's an easy couple of HP, I've done it on two of my 4th gens and have had no issues over the last 9 years.
That includes driving to Canada for Christmas and driving to Houston in the middle of the summer.

Yeah, I just bought the set off line. Either way it was a cheap mod.

man i did mine for free, take large hose running to throttle body, remove from throttle body and attach to upper passeneger side of motor where coolant would do after going thru throttle body. and i see no reason for ever having the coolant goto the throttle body, i have read posts from people in minnesota and far north reaches of our country and in Canada even where they have done this mod and still never had the Throttle body freeze.
