EGR Delete? Got the engime tore down for the cam install and was curious. Would blocking off the egr ports at the intake and the one exhaust manifold be worth any power? Obviously it would set a code for the egr system but mine already does it and I just ignore it because I know that's what it is. Any opinions or facts would be helpful. Thanks.

No power just a weight savings and easier to do plug changes etc. etc. Also...LT1 intake manifolds notoriously leak...with the EGR deleted you dont have it creating heat back there at the rear of the manifold where it causes the RTV to soften and therefore leak oil from. I've had leaky manifolds for years until I deleted the EGR and now all is well.
