So...on our street cars (I assume a different setup for race-only cars)...why not remove and by-pass the coolant lines/hoses that go to the throttle body and the ISC valve. ???

This would remove some of the heat on the throttle body and intake manifold
Aren't these only heated for emissions control??

hmm. ya tuff call..
Outlaw Engineering does not feel that bypassing the throttlebody coolant passage is a very elegant solution to throttlebody heat for many users. This often leads to rough idle, increased fuel consumption and possibly higher emissions. Many TB's contain thermosensors that would never reach operating temperature. It is similar to running an old carbureted vehicle with the choke all the time. Also, there truly is the possibility of ice formation in the TB during the colder months without this system. With the addition of an insulator, the vehicle can operate as it was meant to and the intake will remain cooler.
