Hello all,
I am back for some much needed help. The other day my truck started to have some hesitations after a tuneup and a local shop. I brought it back to them and it had a vacuum leak pretty easy to diagnose. While they were at it though they disconnected the E GR valve stating that it was bad. I know this is part of the emissions portion of the motor but I was wondering how common it is to do an EGR delete. Do I even need the EGR valve? Or will I get better performance getting a new EGR valve and replacing it? I want the option with the best performance. But I have heard that people get different carburetors and intake manifolds that have an EGR delete built in or just no place to put the EGR valve. Thank you all who respond your help is much appreciated I am kind of lost when it comes to emissions stuff on an old Chevy motor.
