Default Trick Flow twisted wedge tech ?

I have heard that you can drill and tap the egr port on the heads then install a plug in it to cut down on heat in the intake. Is this true?

Also, do any of you have any other tricks I could use in order to pull a few extra ponies out of my 1990 5.0L?

Just in case you need to know, here is what I have done to the engine:

Summit block with a 347 stroker kit
