I am building a 10:1 306 w/ GT-40 alum. heads. How do I block the egr w/o causing drivability issues? I have the Trick Flow .499/.510 cam. Is it worth the trouble to remove it, or is there a performance increase by doing it?
Thanks, Herc

There is zero gain by removing the pump / EGR system. The system only operates when you are cruising down the highway. EGR turns itself off at WOT.

If you do remove it, make sure you turn off the function in the ECU.

Keep it. The EGR increases fuel mileage when cruising down the highway.

the only downside being the sooty garbage that will make a home in your runners over time...

Engine Might have to get a Dart block but don't want to and if I do, then 363 instead of 331. Thoughts on what I've already bought so far.......
