Unfortunately I can't search on three lettered words and nobody types out exhaust gas recirculation lol.
So anyhow I'm putting in a 2.9 Whipple and considering the EGR delete. I wanted to hear from some real world experience with the delete.
To me it seems the pros are it'll keep the blower casing a lot cooler because you won't have that hot exhaust coming up and in. But will it really be cooler? I mean it is bolted to the engine absorbing a huge amount of heat anyways.
Cons are that in normal cruise you'll no longer have EGR which for those that don't know recirculates exhaust gas into the intake which saves on gas mileage. When you have less fresh air going into a cylinder and some inert exhaust gas the computer can squirt less fuel and still be on target for 14.7:1 AF ratio. Difference this makes realistically? dunno, 1 mpg? 1/2? if so that's nothing on a car that already drinks gas down like a mofo lol. Although when I DD this thing around in the summer any bit of mileage helps but if it really is heating up the casing a bunch and killing HP then no way.
Of course it also reduces emissions but nobody cars on a toy car like this.
Info, comments, suggestions?
