Is this required or optional? It looks like it will clear everything, and I'd rather not mess with the cooling system if not required. I dont plan on eliminating the coolant loop through the throttle body, so I dont see where this kit would effect anything with the cooling system.

Some kits and folks who modify feel as though there is some power to be made by keeping the throttle body cooler. One of the reasons for keeping it warm was idle warm-up to achieve proper engine operating conditions (in cold climates), so the car would drive smoothly until warm. Some say helps to meet cleaner burning for EPA standards. ? I know it didn't hurt to block off or loop the hoses for Cal Smog in one of my cars.
