Throttle Body Bypass
The “Throttle Body Bypass” Was Already Done To My Car When I Bought It. Im Just Curious As To The Reason Of Water Going Through The TB. Is It To Cool It? Heat It? Nothing At All?

The purpose was to heat the TB of cars that live in winter climates. Since most of us don't fall into that category, or if we do we don't drive the cars during that time of year, the TB bypass acts to remove the unnecessary hot coolant from the TB. It really doesn't do anything HP-wise...just another thing we can add to our "mod" lists...

If you want to kill a few hours on a saturday, do it!All it will do is give you something to do! IMHO
The water contact area inside the throttle body is miniscule!
I gues if you were to drive your vette in 20 below temps, this might help

basiclly....every little bit helps.
even doing a TB bypass has to improve effeciency a little.
