I was looking over the engine yesterday and I noticed the 2 nipples under the TB that are attached to the TB which are part of the coolant system do not have hoses running from them. But according to the Magnacharger install (#147 and #150) it says attach hose. Am I missing something wouldn't that help cool the intake?

GM used to believe there was a far off chance that a dry throttle blade had the potential to stick since it had the possibility of being a different temperature than the throttle body housing (that was heated by the engine compartment) with constant air passing over it.
This was an unconfirmed fear and GM did away with the TB coolant hoses around 2005. They only serve to heat the incoming air that passes through the TB.

I have seen a few V's when I cut through Rockville on my way home...always silver though. Have seen two or three of them in Sykesville as well.
I ran into a guy in Fulton (Howard County) and he ended up with the silver 09 that was sent to Germany for all of the speed/track testing. Seems Miller Brother's Cadillac was the only dealer in the country that had an early V that was not already spoken for...so GM bought it back and shipped it to Deutschland for testing...then sent it back to Miller Bros when finished, where the guy I met purchased it since he was looking at a year long wait for a new one.
Again, lots of locals...but none of them seem to be on here.
Sorry for getting off topic OP.

How ironic...I was born in Olney (Norbeck Rd), and grew up in Laurel. I now own a house in Sykesville (rented) and stay in Laurel when I am here. Your right....lots of locals.

So would a 92mm TB work on a maggie? I was going to do an LS2 TB but found out they are 4 bolts.

The worst part is, while you would think the 90mm would gain power, it absolutely does not. I believe that most have seen 3-5 hp increase...which is most likely attributed to the tune, not the TB.

A 90 mm TB will work...but...you have to get an LS2 TB, adapter harness, get the LS2 snout adapter for the Maggie (usually built to order, may take a while), modify the PCV hose routing, and modify the evap vapor solenoid hoses. Then you have to get a tune to change the scaler for the TB. You are looking at nearly $500 for the conversion.
