coolant crossover tube there has to be a way to remove the tube going from the heads to the throttlebody im trying to clean this engine bay up. to me it seems like you could do away with that extra tube and just tie the 2 heads together. explain in depth to me why that will not work?

If you do the throttle body bypass it will connect straight to the radiator. You have to have the crossover tube because is sends coolant back to the radiator

Steam cannot be purged if it does not go back to the radiator and the whole point is to purge the steam (plus the blowing up and rice and babies thing...).

Wow...
Another eloquently put explanation from the_merv. No babies will pass during my swap, however I do need more rice for a speed boost. Is the going rate 5 or 10 hp from each sticker, I forget?
