Re: !Free Mods
pictures of t-stat mod:
Thermostat
Where to put spacer in housing
How t-stat is assembled
example of spacer
where spacer is placed, assembled t-stat
a .090" spacer will give a ~170' temp, and I was thinking an 1/8-inch was ~160'.

- I got those from TECH-LS1 by the way. This was originally Steve's thermostat modification.

Saves about 7lbs and cleans up the engine compartment quite bit.

From what I have seen it allows the stock exhaust manifold to flow better by gutting it.

Re: !Free Mods
I've never been a big fan of the throttle body bypass mod, as I feel that since the throttle body doesn't get hot in steady highway driving, or with repeated back to back passes down the strip, that bypassing the coolant through it won't help performance in any way at all.

Re: !Free Mods
i dont know if the tb bypass works performance wise, but there is a temp difference. In my many attempts to put a fernco tube between the tb and maf, ive felt my tb plenty hot even after only driving around little (ambients around here at the time were 85-90+), and after i did the bypass i can cruise or hot rod for an extended amount of time and set my hand on the tb right after i stop and it isnt hot to the touch. maybe its just me. i dont know.
