throttle body coolant bypass?

ive seen this mod listed in some peoples
sig.
what does this do, and how does it help?
i am assuming that it keeps the coolant
from circulating through the tb.
also how much do these run ($$)
appreciate any help

the coolent coming from the heater valve goes directly into the Manifold bypassing the TB. This in turn keeps the heat down in the Plenum causing more cold air to come in and more hp. Cost = 3FT Rubber hose from the hardware store. 5 Minute mod.
