Default Throttle body bypass

Was reading on performance modification site that warming of the throttle body to prevent frosting hurts performance when engine is warm.
Since cooler air means HP Sounds good to me.
Being Nevada with 117 degree peaks frosting isnt a issue
So either bypass or add a valve to the hose leading to the body correct?

Used to live LV,NV to so I know what your saying is the truth - 117 is a good summer day ! Your 94 will never see a day below 48 degrees in the winter out there...........unless you live on Mt Charleston.

Do the t/body by-pass, there is no way you need to have the T/Body heated by running hot coolant thru it.

Check this web-site out. There IS a difference despite what some might state.

I live in Phoenix Arizona. I did the bypass 10 years ago. No problems whatsoever from it.
