I've just figured out what it is, (I think)
You bypass the coolent that is ran throu the throttle body, The Idea is to not let your 200deg coolent heat up your engines incoming air.

Well with the low gains of 6-8rwhp, your not really going to notice it, but from the dyno results ive seen on several fbodies, for $5 and 10 minutes, its worth it.
5/8"" hose clamps
3/8" hard line (i used a/c colling line)
3/8" or 5/8" vaccuum caps for the throttle body
People like BMR trying to sell the kit for $15, such a rip.

I did it. I didn't feel a difference in SOTP performance. It does give you HP just so little that its unnoticable, but its there. Every horse more the engine produces... the quicker the truck will run. So if I had to, I would do it again.

Do you have to burp the cooling system afterward? Or do you need to replace the little bit of coolant that you loose while removing the hoses from the TB? I have been wanting to do this for some time now but am a little nervous since I haven't done anything like this before.
