lowers the TB temp. some claim it is good for 8 HP. Notice i said claim, but any time you can remove heat from the intake tract it is a good thing. Check ShoeBox's site.

The throttle Body bypass routes the coolant that would normally go through the throttle body to keep it warm so in cold climates... like Wisconsin... your throttle body blades dont freeze up. It bypasses that, so it will remain cold and potentially free up about 5hp max...
Colder air is denser.... hense better combustion.
