I wanted to know if i will gain anything from doing this.

I have a 160 stat and the fans are program to come on at 180 & 185.

the coolant will run cooler thru the throttle body.

i'm looking for good solid answers not just opinions...............

thanks guys

YES

a cooler air charge is a denser charge...which makes more power.

the thing is you will not notice it...only a couple hp ...but it's cheap and easy

 

Well I tried and i couldn't get the drivers side hose off unless i where to cut it.

but before i were to do that i wanted to make sure i could get the passenger side,
that has 2 of those hose clamps,
after removing the upper throttle body tube and a few plug in sesors and the
alt. bracket i had no access to get to those clips, they where both on the bottom of the hose

so instead of taking a chance and being able to cut 1 hose off, i put her back together and will take her to a speed shop
to have them do it, i just can't take the chance of the car not running, she is my daily drive .
thanks for all your help.

If you can change an oil filter, you should be able to this yourself in about 2 1/2 min.

 

i got everything apart just couldn't get the hose clamps on the passenger side to release the hose, its a b****

So cut it. Wont make a difference

 

i don't have a problem cutting the hoses, but the hose by the stem tube the clamp is on the bottom of that hose and even with everything remove i can't get down there to sqeeze the clamp off to remove from th stem tube

thats my problem.................

 

Try to break the clamp with pliers or cut with wire cutters. You'll still have plenty of hose left if you hack it off a half inch before the throttle body.

 

thanks...................
