For sure. I used to have to sit in my El Camino freezing my butt off trying to get it warm enough to idle when it was really cold. I converted to throttle body FI many years ago and never look back. It fires up in a second when it is zero or 110. It is the best upgrade on that car ever. Equal adding the Griffith's AC system on the 911 as the best upgrade ever and having a car I can drive in the heat.
