Has anyone removed the coolant lines running from the thermostat to the T/B, or heard of this being done?

I think maybe Jet Tech, The Head, and probably others, have done it. If you live in a warm climate you will have no problems bypassing the lines. In cold climates the engine may run rough until it warms up.

JetTech has for sure and if everything goes as planned tomorrow, I'll be doing the same thing.

Thanks for the replies. I removed them then reinstalled them and have removed them once again. Has anyone noticed any differences? I would love to get this thing on a dyno, but don't really know where I can have it done. If anyone has any knowledge on where I might be able could you let me know. I live in Clarksville, TN.
