What is the part that bolts to the front of the head on the passenger side of a 2004 / 5.7 hemi engine? It has a hose that goes back to air intake. Is it necessary?

EGR valve

I removed mine, somebody makes a block-off kit, google it I cant remember where I found it...

I am running a aftermarket ECU (FAST XFI), so I don't know if you'll have problems with the factory ECU, i'm guessing the tuners/flash could delete it, since the kit is avail, also the 6.1 doesn't have it...

I think you are referring to the EGR tube. Not necessary. My 05 5.7 from a 2500 truck has a block off plate from the factory instead of the tube.
 
heres a kit...

if boden says they are factory avail for the bigger trucks, that may be cheaper.

sounds like you need a flash if running a factory ECU, and the big reports are possible MPG drop 1-2 mpg's if you care, and you may burn up a cat quicker if youre gonna run one...
 
I've got a kit I bought and never used. Don't need it now that I've gone 6.1L

$25 shipped to you...
