Tips on releasing horsepower.?

yeah and electric fan is something i surely can do. and the msd stuff i already have racing wires and aftermarket plugs and the msd distributor cap. idk if the cap really makes a difference over stock if you don't have the whole msd set up ignition,coil,and distributor

93Lx.Conv5.0 · October 27th, 2011, 10:45 AM

idk what kind of rockers they are. there the stock ones that come on the E7 heads what ever they are.

I don't see why people need to delete the EGR its fully closed at WOT

93Lx.Conv5.0 · October 27th, 2011, 03:58 PM

whats the EGR.?

steveofire · October 27th, 2011, 05:31 PM

The EGR valve controls a small passageway between the intake and exhaust manifolds. When the valve opens, intake vacuum draws exhaust through the valve. This dilutes the incoming air/fuel mixture and has a quenching effect on combustion temperatures which keeps NOX within acceptable limits. As an added benefit, it also reduces the engine's octane requirements which lessens the danger of detonation (spark knock).

so why would i take it off.?

steveofire · October 27th, 2011, 06:49 PM

for performance you want to lower the inlet air temp as much as you can and getting rid of the egr is one of those ways I got ride of mine as soon as i got the car I just took the cross over tube between the heads off and plugged the hole got ride of the smog pump and pulled the egr off and blocked it off at the tb if your going for performance you dont need it lol

93Lx.Conv5.0 · October 27th, 2011, 08:27 PM

lol then I don't need it.. but do you have a pic to show me where its at.?

steveofire · October 27th, 2011, 09:24 PM

if you look on your passenger side exhaust pipe there should be a pipe coming off there to an egr valve and on a fox i believe it connects between the throttle body and intake

93Lx.Conv5.0 · October 27th, 2011, 09:30 PM

well theres nothing sticking off my headers... and the only thing sticking off the rest of the exhaust system is an 02 sensor

steveofire · October 27th, 2011, 09:35 PM

I wonder is someone has allready removed the egr let me see if i can find a pic

steveofire · October 27th, 2011, 09:39 PM

its the one that the white vaccume line is plugged into

ryanw · October 27th, 2011, 09:51 PM

Taking off the EGR may also cause your gas milage to go down. Id keep it if i were you. At low RPM the exhaust gases take up room in the combustion chamber, wich makes your car not need as much air and gas. Thats the short of it. Fogged306 exsplains it way better then me. Maybe if he sees this post, he will post his version.

Two of the benifits of taking it off is...the engine bay looks cleaner and yes you will have lower intake temp
But another negative is your computer will all ways have an error code(not a big deal though) unless you have it tune out of the computer.

93Lx.Conv5.0 · October 27th, 2011, 10:05 PM

oh I don't have that on my car i got the thing that its plugged into but i don't ever recall something coming out of it at least not like that

steveofire · October 27th, 2011, 10:11 PM

does ur car have a chip in the ecu meaning it has a custom tune ?

93Lx.Conv5.0 · October 27th, 2011, 10:22 PM

not at all, does it have anything to do with the car being a 4cly car swapped over to a 5.0.?

steveofire · October 28th, 2011, 11:45 AM

it could be what all mods have been done to the motor like injectors, maf stuff like that

93Lx.Conv5.0 · October 28th, 2011, 02:47 PM

It probably had it in my old 5.0 thats where the engine came out of but it doesn't matter now thats gone
