Better yet by-pass the coolant line to run cold water/coolant thru the TB instead of hot water/coolant...That would reduce throttle body temp even more from the transferred engine block heat...That would create a true cold TB...Also dump the legendary BFI intake, drill a large hole directly above the front tire wheel well, the vacume affect of tire rotation will then push the air directly into a true "COLD BOX" filtered air box and travel directly into the cold TB giving you cold dense air....That all combined should give you the best cold air intake as possible...HP gains should definetely be noticed then...The only problem with that setup is the tire will kick up alot of water and dirt into the intake and filter so a good secondary filter or diversion setup must be worked in near the tire area air intake....Any thoughts on this idea?

couldnt you run both hot and cold lines to a tee fitting w/ valves on each end or just one valve of some sort so u could interchange between hot and cold when you want to? might sound like a hassle, but just a thought...
