TBB Yes or No????

I have read conflicting info on this mod. I live in the Houston area and anything that will keep the heat down is a plus! So what do you think? <img src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" border="0">

I saw one post on here that said you could actually loose HP. Doesn't make sense to me.

Doing the throttle body bypass mod may or may not help. However, it damn sure won't hurt anything. I would recommend doing it. It's one of the easiest mods there is to do.

Re: TBB Yes or No????

BMR sells a kit. Here is their take on TBB: GM cars circulate hot coolant through the throttlebody to prevent throttle blade icing in cold climate conditions. While this works great for it's intended purpose, not many of us drive our F-Bodies in the snow much! The cooler and denser the incoming air, the more power the engine can create. This kit allows you to bypass your throttlebody coolant passage to keep your incoming air as cool as possible. Save yourself the hassle of locating the hardware and use this pre-made kit instead. Includes billet aluminum adaptor, hose clamps and rubber dust caps to keep the throttlebody coolant passage clean if converted back later. Please specify LT1 or LS1 when ordering.
