A month back I replaced my intake and T.B. I also did many clean up things, and one of them was blocking the coolant. I did for a cleaner look, and I like it:

No, dosent do anything, and Yes that kid was a complete moron.
Notchbck93 said:After reading about an icing intake and get rid of the coolant lines, I am going to have to respectfully disagree with all this nonsense. The feeling of more power is a great misconception. Anybody can call me a liar. Fine, back it up on a dyno. A number of accounts time and time again have strongly, without a doubt, proven that those lines need to stay on there.
Why, it doesnt make sense to have 195 degree coolant passing into the EGR spacer right? It is robbing horsepower to have that hot glycol flowing through there. I thought the same thing before I went on to further my education.
What is cooler, 1500 degree exhaust gasses, or 195 degree temp coolant?
I think that is a no brainer.
ok, so eliminate the EGR right ,, big power gains NO!
The computer is already mapped in fuel and timing for the EGR. When you have the hammer dropped and are going for your best E.T. most of the emission stuff is inactive.
I studied this in part a few years ago with my prof. and it is true, Removing all of the EGR components does not increase E.T. or and RWH.
I am not on here to start fights, just to help people. Also there are several articles in Muscle Mustang and 5.0 that concern this area and they laugh at the people who feel its a big power gain ,, even if its just more responsive.
Driving around town the EGR actually helps cool the combustion chambers and helps prevent detonation.
How? Inert gas is recirculated back into the combusion chamber where it can't be burnt therefore less O2 waiting to burn some HC's.
My car runs 12.50's with all the emissions equip and emits 0 CO's.. I think that is a pretty astounding thing to accomplish.
Sorry for the long post, I just dont want to see anybody do more damage than good.. Happy Stangin !!!
