Egr helps with detonation resistance. Doesn't hurt performance on a stock or slightly modified engine.

It will help when running shit Mexican gas.

Leave the solenoid hooked up or find resistance value of solenoid and install resistors if deleting e.g.r. The hard line is 1 1/6" wrench size . Use copious amounts of w.d.40. The manifold threads can strip out fairly easy if it's been a while since last removed if ever.

Keep the a.c. pump and convert it to on board air to fill tires. With a small tank you can run air tools.

^^^ This!!!

I was thinking about using a second AC pump where my smog pump is since I'm deleting the smog pump.

If swapping to headers that don't have an accommodation for EGR, would you leave that valve on the truck or ditch it with the stock manifolds?

Ditch it and build a block off plate using valve as a template. Install plate with a new gasket. 3/8 aluminum works well.

you da man!

No problem. Have fun.

I may change the name of this build to "Full Retard", because that's where it seems like it's headed.

Started the engine cage, there's actually a little more done than the pictures show.

Threw on both wheels because I needed some visual motivation. Gunna need some giant wheel spacers for the rear until I can afford a full floater.

Someone buy my Harley so I don't have to be a homo with giant wheel spacers, lol.

WTF? Didn't even know that was possible!!

I assume you need some sort of regulator and waste gate to bleed off any excess pressure?
