Car is a '99.

The throttle body has a coolant line that goes through it to keep the throttle body from freezing up in the winter (which we don't need in racing).

Bypassing the (hot) coolant line that goes through the throttle body would help keep the temperatures down of the air which goes through the throttle body. Might not help much, but why not? Anybody do this? Is this legal?

 

Thanks,

Jim
