EGR bypass?

LOL, Sounds like solid advice Cudafever! I'm thinking the same, but might get the EGR intake and just use a block off plate. That way if someday someone wants to hook it back up someday they can just remove the plate, change the carb, and be happy.. if EGR makes them happy.

If you buy the EGR manifold, you will want to plug the passage at the head so the carb runs cooler.
If you are gonna run headers, then for sure I would buy the non-EGR intake, or for sure block the passage.The headers will not work correctly at the center 4 ports,if the passage is open.Some guys have had trouble getting that port to stay blocked.

The EGR signal port can be added to the carb at any time.It's just a venturi vacuum port. It might not end up as pretty as the factory install, tho.

I say let the next guy worry about EGR.
