Get a new Edelbrock or BBK TB.. they are under 200 bux.. Come on! We need to go to the track next friday! Gotta be there man, it's too much fun to pass up..

You will need an EGR or just the spacer, can't directly bolt the TB to the intake.

what if I bought the EGR delete, and TB. would that work, also If I take off the EGR plate will it make me not pass smog?

Yeah you could get one of the deletes, and you won't pass smog because it won't pass the visual inspection.

where I live they dont do visual inspection, all the do is put the hoses on the exhaust and let it idle, they dont even rev it. they arent that strick on smog. would you gain more Hp by getting the egr delete instead of the Egr plate. which would give more Hp.

i went easy for the first 50 miles or so.. maybe even a little less... never had any problems... i just could not wait 500 miles, i wanted to know if it was worth it or not pretty much right away LOL... as for the tb and egr spacer, you are going to need to make or buy some brackets to hold your accelerator cable and what not... the egr plate is what mounts that

Well with my old El Camino, I did that too, let er' rip so to speak, about 3 days later, the spyders froze on the shaft and destroyed my rear spyders. But hey it was a Chevy.


Poor Chevy, hey, at least they're American!

Well, I would not own anything other than American Iron, accept for my Kawasaki motorcycle, but that's mostly plastic...

not much hp, you would need to keep the sensor plugged in becasue the computer will require it but you dont stand to have any kind of noticeable increase in hp, the egr does't work at wot so it won't be doing you any favors at the track, your better off just getting the new plate along with the new throttle body, i know bbk says they require you buy theirs to work in conjunction with their tb but that might be b.s.
