does it really matter, heat tube functionality

[greektruck@xxxx]

Hello all, on my 64 k ram, I plan to block the heat tubes for the rams at the 
header. i did this before and found no problems. Although for a little while 
though, then i ported the heads and made them functional again, just because. 
i know cold intake charge and gas is very beneficial, so it makes sense that 
not having 400 degree ( or something ) hot air run under the base where the 
air flows would be good. I live in california, so cold isnt a problem, i know 
it doesnt serve a functional effect to the ram theory and air flow, so 
anything im not seeing, that would stop someone from doing this? The looks 
remain physically identical as a freeze plug goes in the holes on the 
headers, so thats not a reason either. Sory about the spelling and 
puncuation. thanks all, tim

ps, my car is coming along nice at the body shop, lots of hidden stuff under 
the paint, but nothing they cant take care of. thank you
