The pinging alone is wasting power even before the PCM attempts to correct it.

If KR isn't an issue, and the cyl temps are cool enough, then egr will really do very little for you except to save 1/100000000000000000 of the atmosphere, and create carbon build up in places you don't want it.

Pretty Much. Click here for a good read

Ok, so removing the EGR is not good. There has to be a way to remove it succesfully without problems. What about the EGR restrictor plate mod they have posted on www.sshotrods.com??? I'm about to get a tune and was considering doing some of these. THANKS!!
