Can Anyone Answer this Question??
I was told that on my new intake I got (summit polished aluminum idle-5000) that if I run hoses from one side of the intake to the other, it has 4 of these holes where I can put a fitting and run hose, that this will help the circulation of coolant thus cooling the intake better. Anyone ever heard of this, and would it be worth the couple of bucks for hosing. I just don't know if I want that extra hose (clutter) under the hood.

Not true.
All 4 of those holes are at equal pressure; no water will flow from one to another.

All of those holes are at the "hot" point of the cooliing system, i.e. where hot water is coming up out of the block and heads ready to go to the radiator or the heater core. They are all of equivalent function, and there for convenience in hooking up to whatever your particular plumbing might be. You're supposed to plug the ones you don't use.
