Cooler Air?

I need some opinions because I know everyone thinks different about some things. Im not sure if this has been answered, tried to look, but cant find anything. If it has been though, sorry for posting a new thread. I did the little throttle body heater by-pass DIY. Not much difference, I always figured, because the air is moving so fast throughout the intake, a little change like that would not do much to the air temp. I was talking to my friend about it, he looked at it and came up with an idea. He thought about installing a mini-radiator or something to that matter, something that we can attach to the inlet and outlet of the throttle body heater, which will allow cold water to go throughout it which of course, might make the air just a bit cooler or keep the flowing air cooler. Again, I think that the air is traveling too fast to make a difference. So I just wanted opinions on this idea.

Thanks.

So where the radiator take it's power? If you take it from the engine's movement, it means loss of power. And probably it is the only place to supply power..

Thats kind of what we decided would happen later. I told him it might be like the A/C. A/C drags power out if turned on so the same thing would happen with a new component.
Oh well, just an idea though.
