Curse the drive though in the middle of winter...damn McDee's for making me stop and freeze my TB. BS.

By the way...water freezes at 32. And im not a even meteorologist.
ok smarty pants....the air passing throught the tb can get up to 30 degrees cooler when passing through the tb if given the right conditions....driving on the highway for exstensive time with TB open to 30% or more can cause freezing... the engeniers have put coolent through the TB for a reason who are you to challenge thier time tested and proven technology.....Every car i have seen with a TB has coolent running through it....I have even seen some with thier own thermostat on them to controll coolent flow... it's not there for the hell of it...yeah you may get performance from it be removing it...but not enough that you will feel it....if you want power get bigger displacement or go FI....my $.02
