The 320 was bone stock. I haven't dynoed since.. Actually the 320 is a low dyno because the shop told me their dyno was off by 10 so they told me I really dynoed around 330

What about the EGR fuse?

well all i have heard is that once you get it deleted its gone and you can take the fuse out or leave it in doesnt matter as long as the codes are deleted it will be fine. i think i will wait unitl i get my headers to do this or possibly get it removed and leave the stuff in there and then once i get my headers in just need the freeze plug right?

I'm in the middle of taking my AIR off right now, I followed the Pass. side AIR pipe and it runs into a valve looking thing, almost like the LT1 EGR valve. What is that and do I need to take it off?

It is, but there is something there that I've never read or heard about. So I need to know what to do.

I am not talking about the air pump, there is a valve type thing on the back of the drivers side head.

All you have to do is plug that with an appropriate size screw. thread it in, but be careful not to thread it too far, because you don't want it to fall out.

It may be kind of hard to see, but when you are removing the tubing, you willl see where it is.

My car is a 98, so I didn't have it, but when we did my freinds 99 Z, that is what we did.
