Default EGR REMOVAL!!!!

i didn't really think this would be to major of a mod as far as performance gain, but i was wrong. i just finished pulling it all off(killed my right pinky) and it didn't make much if any difference down low, but it feels like it pulls much harder up top. i can see why it would though with the cam, seeing how it doesn't push hot air into the motor anymore and the cam already pulls hard up top. just thought i'd share, very happy with this mod for the 10 bucks i spent to do it.

Does your SES light come on now, or do you have LS1 edit? I was just wondering how it would effect emissions and all that crap about throwing codes?

i already have an SES light from no cats and a misfire(which doesn't exist.) but it really shouldn't hurt emissions since the newer models don't even have egr.

might be....but it's still letting hot air into the intake track. and i only went WOT for about a second....it wouldn't stay on the road at full WOT from low speed

not the roads by my house....theyre slick enough for the cavalier to spin all the way into third(powershifting) and the truck will just go crazy on the road in front of my place.
