crazy tb idea????????

i was thinking the other day staring at the tb and i thought if i took the coolant lines off cuz it heated the tb thus killing hp, what if some how i could circulate cold a$$ water through it to reduce intake temp. then i wondered if some how get a small motor that could circulate water through the existing coolant holes in the tb. using a small resovoir with water in it. just a really stupid idea i came up with the other day, and sorry about spelling and length.

Would add weight to the car for more trouble then its worth the water would just get hot after a very short period of time, kind of like icing down your intake at the track.

Some people have tried that with CO2 canisters, and also I read somewhere that ford did the same thing with the lightning using A/C lines.
