Copper Cap = Loss of HP/TQ?

I thought about doing that mod with the copper cap to restrict the airflow to the IAC valve, but decided against it. Mainly cuz I couldn't find a copper cap lol. I dont see how it would make u lose hp. The IAC shouldn't function when you're driving.
 
I didn't notice any losses with the "copper cap mod" a.k.a. a piece of aluminum with a hole drilled in it, other that the loss of hanging RPMs. I also didn't notice any SOTP gains from a diablosport chip, and a prochamber. Perhaps my butt is not sensitive enough. :shrug:
