TB Bypass and Chicago Winters...bad?
Has anyone ever had problems in Chicago area or similar weather in the winters with the TB bypass? Would it be in one's best interest to allow throttle body warming during the winter? Thanks!

It does not bother people in Canada, so I doubt it will bother you.

I live up about 30 minutes from Green Bay and I have had no issues and I put on a lot of miles and have had it done for years.

I ran two years in upstate NY winters with no problems. There's enough ambient heat coming from the intake manifold not to worry about it.

Goes down to -40 up here. Have to plug in the sled dogs but the LT1 is fine with the TB bypass.
