Intake coolant ports

How much driveability(cold starting) would I lose if I left the coolant holes that flow water through the stock intake plugged?(bought teh engine w/ them plugged))

In Texas, I wouldn't worry about it. On hot days it will actually pay off by the intake charge not being heated as much.

ive blocked them off with 12x20mm freeze plugs on every motor in every 7 ive owned and have never noticed a difference, it really aids in manifold removal and installation as well.
