why is the throttle body heated? i would have thought it better to keap the incoming air as cool as poss! i heard of a mod to give more responsiveness by bypassing the throttle body, diverting the hot coolant and cool the inlet air temp a little! i tried this as i had plenum of the other day, havent noticed a difference apart from hot starting isnt as "crisp" as it was! cant see how a heated throttle body would help hot starting? anyone know whats going on down there?
