once you do this mod, you won't have hot coolant running through your throttle body, which only heats up the intake air. you'll have a bit cooler intake charge, thus a couple extra horses.

Just don't expect any significant gain from this. Yes, in theory it's a good mod, but nobody has ever gained noticeable horsepower on the dyno or trap speeds at the track after doing this mod.
For $2 though, why not do it I guess.

Agreed, don't expect any ET drop, but it's too cheap not to do.

The only reason I did this mod was because I switched to a FAST intake and if I remember correctly it doesn't have anything so I had to do the bypass mod. Besides it really does nothing. if you lived where it gets real cold I'm sure it would be beneficial to not do this mod
