When I grow up, maybe I'll mellow out enough to see what kind of mileage I can get. As of right now, my EGR is intact and operational - everything has been replaced, even the harness lol. I did test before and after. 16 mpg Highway with and without the EGR functioning, but that's @ cruise 79 mph.

I was hoping for more when I hooked everything back up, BUT , my clutch fan is seizing I think, I can't spin it when she's shut down - not a lick! It's dragging - I gotta get off my a$$ and fix it

OK. I'm going to try the delete. I'm installing a new TB and elbow soon, so Ill go egr'less and check the mileage. I'll probably rebuild the tube any way so I can pass smog.

I installed JLP long bars on my friends lightning tonight. so we had to test them out. I had my street tires, and he was running some type of 18" MT drag tires, which still spun pretty bad, but I spun too. He has intake, pulley, tune, and exhaust.
