Would there be anything to gain during our hot summer months? Cooler intake air temp perhaps? This coolant line runs in series with the "tranny cooler". Anyone?

what I will do is I will install a bypass in parallel with the regular line. With a simple valve you can shut off the regular line and enable the bypass ( in the hot weather ). In the wiinter, the valve can be in the off position and it would regular line will function like stock.

This is the mode I will consider if I will do the Thermal Block from outlaw engineering.

Nashua.

Found this article from one of the Mazda6 guys saying it would be a useless mod...lot's of technobabble over my head.

I never looked at it as being a performance modification and actually agree with what was stated in that article. However, I'm not in an area which I have to worry about freezing and with the other changes I was making it saved time in not re-routing hoses.

I will wait and see what the Thermal block will do!
