Throttle body question

I live in south FL, so I have the throttle body bypass mod. Ill explain more at the end of my question. My question is, is do the throttle bodies operate, open, in unison, or is one the primary and the other operates above a certain rpm? Reason for the question is when its cool outside I've noticed that the driver side TB is colder then the passenger side. Nobody seems to know the answer so thats were you guys come in. Car runs awesome, no codes, im just curious. Thanks for any input.

It's a "V" motor, so there's one TB dedicated for each bank. If one is warmer than the other, it may just be due to it's proximity to something warm in the surrounding area.

Thats what I was thinking, but both stock exhaust manifolds are in place and temperature feels the same on both sides. Somebody was saying that it does it for economy but under WOT or getting up to speed, both are unison.

I'm guessing he has bypassed the coolant hoses running through the throttle body...

Its very easy, just unhook the hoses to the throttle bodies and use one as the bypass and set the other one aside until its time to put it back on. Hate to say it but just do a search on here an youtube you'll find plenty of diy's.

The OP is in Florida. I'm not sure in Minnesota that this is a good idea.
