Well.....thats why I said "infamous TB coolant bypass" , meaning somewhat controversial.
I've been racing since I was about ,OMG, 7 and anything you can do to reduce heat increases power and speed, IMHO.
Take this car for example. It originally came with coolant flowing through the throttle body, made about 360 to the wheels
Now it doesn't have coolant going through the TB and makes about 630 to the wheels....LOL
Granted the engine is larger as is the throttle body. This is a runway car and ANY reduction in powertrain temp directly translates into increased speed.
I live for a 5 degree reduction in temp, any temp....OMG! It can mean the difference between 165 and 171mph.

LS1Tech? OK.....those guys BS and blow shit up all the time over there.
There is no way you can increase the temp in the engine or any component thereof and expect to increase or hold power constant.
LS1Tech? Coincidence.....I originally bought this car from a guy on LS1Tech. He totally misrepresented the car to me when I bought it.
The trans was blown, rear diff was shot and the engine tune was way off leaving about 100whp on the table. It had the right engine parts it just wasn't sorted.
It needed like $15K to sort it out. But now I would say its the fastest NA runway C5 on the west coast....There are a few on the east coast that are faster.
You can't believe everything on the internet, but you can believe that heat is a mortal enemy of power and speed.
