I lied earlier, I was just assuming things, I shouldn't do that anymore. The use for the copper is this (taken from the Copper ISO Thermal explanation on everythingg35.com):
"Compatible with any type of plenum stock or modified and compatible with any type of weather hot or cold. Copper Iso Thermal also reduces heat transfer into the upper and lower plenum assembly, but the Copper Throttle Body Heater keeps the throttle body heated to prevent ice formation on the throttle body valve on very cold or snowy days. If it snows in your area use the Copper Iso Thermal to keep the TB heated while still take full advantage of the cold dense air for increased HP."
I'm guessing what it does is transfer the heat from the engine to the TB, at least that's what I'm getting from looking at the picture.
