basically what it does is keep you throttle body from heating up from the coolant that runs through it, what that heat does is make you lose a little bit of power, its kinda like putting pullies on it doesn't ad power it jsut free's up what you already had, so your car wont get slugish after it warms up, and half the time any of us run at the track is while the engine is nice and hot, my buddy did his and after the motor is completely warmed up i can rest my hand on the intake without getting burnt.
jsut my 2 cents

Just do it. It was easy for me. I was due to change the
coolant anyway so it was perfect timing. A little trim on
the original hose and it hooks right up with no one the
wiser, especially Mr. Smog Technican.

C an you just pull the hose from the drivers side coolant port and reconnect it to the coolant tube from the other side , after removing the short hose from the tube?

what about the hose ,can you just disconnect it from the one side of the tb and remove the short hose on the other side so the hose can be connected to the tube? i posted a couple posts earlier , it's a little bit more defined there

It depends on what model year you have. Shoebox has a description on his website here: '95-'97

It does gain you part throttle power, but not peak power because when you floor the gas pedal the air is comming in way too fast to get heated by such things. I would recommend it because I don't like coolant in my TB, it could leak & go into the intake, it slows you down part throttle, & it could spill on the opti
