coolant pipe under the intake manifold
coolant pipe under the intake manifold i recently just bought a 2nd gto , and its been a test bed for stuff , had the original LS1 blow , then had a 408 , now back to a LS1
well it seams to be missing the coolant pipe that ties the left head to the right , and front to back , and feed the tb(which we all know is stupid and not needed) , it has a nitrous plate and 80mm bbk tb any way
my question , is that pipe really needed , when i drove the car home , and took a few friends for a ride , the temps stayed down and never got hot , just seams to me it should be there
so should i add it or leave it alone ?
here is 2 pics of the motor , you can see the cap on the head in the first pic
this is what im missing , not sure which style

2001/2 years capped the rears and used this piece for the front:
the earlier years used the older style which connects all four ports.
Some people say you dont need them, others run their own lines.

yeah sorry the pics arent the best
currently i do not have any lines at all , car seams to run good temp wise , but i live in the middle of hell
its just odd to me that someone would leave the pipe out
