Also, I'll explain the throttle body coolant bypass. In order to keep the intake air heated, chevy has routed a coolant line through the bottom of the throttle body. This probably has an upside (if you live in Montana in the winter) but in most cases heating the intake air hurts performance since hot air is less dense than cold air. To do this mod, simply remove the two short hoses that connect to your throttle body and replace with one hose (90 degree bend, 2" on the short end, 10" on the long end) that connects from just under your thermostat housing to your heater valve. http://www.thirdgen.org/newdesign/te...ntbypass.shtml This in an article from thirdgen.org that may explain it better than I.
