Like the title says. I don't know what it's called but if your looking at the t.b. from the passanger fender it is on the right side of the t.b. Its held on by 2 nuts has a vacume line going to it and its round. I believe its for emmisions. Can i take that peice off and make a plate for it to cover the hole that will be there. Also what is the most timing you can run. I've heard you can turn up the timing till the car stops making power. Is that true?
CAN I REMOVE THIS PART?

EGR?
I would not remove it unless you are going to turn off its function in the computer. You might get part throttle detonation otherwise (That is hit or miss).
Timing will depend upon your individual motor. I will say that you reach a point most of the time where performance starts to fall off, but you have not heard pinging yet. Yet another reason to not run on the ragged edge of detonation.
If you want people to toss you some numbers, I would recommend a sig so people can guess more accurately (i.e. alum heads can generally take more timing, etc).
Good luck.

You said on the right side of the TB. Is the EGR not on the left ... and the IAC on the right?
No no, your other right.SeventyMach1 said:
Maybe he meant to say that he looked from the driver side, or he has some goofy truck manifold.Justin, I would have guessed the same thing you did. Once IAC was disqualified, EGR seemed logical.
For the timing question i had here is a list of my mods. trick flow street heat intake,trick flow t.w. ported heads,anderson b31 cam,30lb. injectors,accufab adjustable regulater,255lph intank pump,mac shorty headers,bbk off road h pipe, flow master mufflers,c&l mass air,pro products 70mm t.b., trick flow 1.6 rockers and push rods. I'm sure i forgot a couple of mods but that is most of them. Any help would be appreciated.
i would recommend that you get a better understanding of what is what and how it works before removing anything. Here's a book that will get you started with how the Ford electronic engine control or "computer" works.

The max timing all depends on the car. There isn't just a set number you can turn to and be fine.
Base timing is 10 degrees. Typically most cars can run about 14-16 degrees before they expeirence detonation.
Start filling your tank with 93 octane and run a tank or two through it. Then get a timing gun and bump the timing up a little at a time. Try out 12 degrees first and take it for a WOT run and see if you get detonation. If not, then bump it up to 14 degrees and go out again and check for detonation. Above 14 degrees i would bump it up 1 degree at a time. If you get detonation, i would bump it down 2 and set it.
Yes it is a blower cam. But when i called the tech line at anderson he told me it was the best cam to use with an aod. For some reason the aod cars made more power on the dyno with a blower cam. Also i'm spraying the car and i'm sure it doesn't hurt.snoboardcore said:isn't the anderson b31 a blower cam
