a smog pump recirculates exhaust back into the motor to help reduce emissions.....makes sure it all burns...not a noticable gain but any gain is a good gain

thats not right, the EGR ( exhaust gas return ) recirculates exhaust gasses,

the smogpump just pumps fresh air into the exhasut pipes to help burn off any remaining hydro-carbons
in the cat converters.

you'll pick up 1-3hp just from not having to turn it on the belt
