WTF bullcrap is that?

[fightinsk8ers]

looks pretty iffy to me

SEEMS theoretically plausible since coolant is hot and you dont want hot in your intake air. if thats true, cai and short ram would be bout identical in hp gains since they both will get hot air going through the t/b.

gimmick

[JoshCrane1]

do we really have hot fuckin coolant going through our t/b's?

There's a reason why there's warm coolant running to the throttle body - to keep it from icing up... which doesn't happen at all in florida or in the south but still - it's not something that's gonna affect you that much. 6-8 WHP? Bullcrap. It's not your throttle body that's heating up the air that much when your engine's warm.. it's the engine bay heat and everything else. The Throttle Body air inlet temperature is only "MARGINALLY" reduced... at best! It's not enough to feel any difference.


This is a complete gimmick and not worth your money.

yeah, had to ask, i always stay away from ebay parts that have Q and A at the bottom of the page to legitimize theirselves.
