Tell me what you know about them. Pros and cons of blocking off. Thanks

Guess I should've read into it a little more first.
It seems like the MITSU one has 2 valves, one electronic, one based on coolant temp. I could see reason for blocking off the coolant valve side of things, however due to the nature of the valve, it's open until coolant gets hot, so if you block off coolant then it will always stay open. As a result, you'd need tuner capability to tell the electric valve to stay more closed. On Fords the whole process is handled electronically. Though You could do a partial block off, again I'd probably just leave it alone, unless for some reason you want to get it to idle more slowly when cold, or more consistently across the engine temp range. -------------------- 1978 Mustang II King Cobra
