Bypassing Throttle Body Coolant Lines

[TommyyJ]

well i found this in the faq section

Cold Air Intake How can I get my 240 to draw only cold air?

Next, bypass the coolant lines on the throttle body (this is a very simple procedure - remove the lines from the throttle body, take off the top one (that went to the left, and use the one on the bottom to loop the coolant around to the top)...

has anyone done this? any better instructions?

its a good idea if your just going down the strip but if your just going to do this on your daily driver dont. keeping the coolant out of the throttle body keeps the air cool until the throttle body gets hot from the intake manifold after that happens there is no coolant to cool it down and it actually gets hotter than if the coolant where running through it. i had this happen to me in my 5.0 thunderbird.

do you know if it feeds back into something else? the line that goes into the throttle body, but then does it go somewhere else from there? back to the block? etc...
