Ok I know this has no effect on horsepower. Basically I put my car back together and realized that the coolant line that runs from the back of the intake to the rear of the throttle body is blocked off. It is plugged at the rear of the GT40 intake. I do not want to take everythign apart again. So how did you guys plug the spout that comes out of the coolant crossover tube so I do not have to run any coolant lines to the throttle body. The spout that comes up is very small. I know I can cap off the throttle body no problem, but how do I stop coolant from coming out of the tube?

I put a rubber plug on it with a small hose clamp. It's working for me.
