Throttle body bypass I live on Long Island and was wondering if the cold winters would cause my throttle body to freeze up if i did this mod? Is this mod worth the expense to switch back and forth from summer and winter if needed?

The coolant normally flows through the TB(not intake). This heats the TB and keeps the butterfly from freezing(will never happen). This has nothing to do with steadying the idle as far as I know. Bypassing the tb keeps the tb/intake tract cooler and adds maybe 1-2rwhp if you are lucky...every little bit counts mod.
