Big Bore Throttle Body.
The advantages are listed in the mod pictures.
Instead of having a HEATED throttle body, it's cooler, therefore the air entering your engine is cooler and more dense, making more power.

From which?
From the BBTB? It depends on the size, your other mods, and your IM if it's bored or not. Hell ,it even depends on altitude.
As for the Coolant Bypass? Who knows. Not much, but when your car has been running for awhile, you'll notice a difference when the engine gets hot. No more serious loss of power.

Exactly my friend, you've got the idea.
If you live where it gets cold, do it in the spring and undo it in the fall. If you get a BBTB that doesn't have the nipples, have a drill (a pre planned way) to get that sucker unstuck if it freezes.

No, not drill as in cutting stuff, drill as in...

I'll look around and see who makes them with the nipples, but again, you'll be looking at a smaller TB. If you want to keep them, just get an OEM TB and get it bored out to 58MM.
