Buy the kit from Speed Inc. Comes with EVERYTHING you need. You WILL throw a code, live with it or get it deleted.

sorry not to steal the tread but if you have a 98 i assume its best to leave the EGR and AIR untill you get a cam with enough overlap it takes care of that? TIA

The scanner at Autozone is just a scanner. You will need tuning software like HP Tuners/EFILive or a tuner shop to disable the DTC's for EGR.

I removed the EGR before I replaced the stock cam and had no issues with performance. The AIR was removed after the cam since I upgraded the Hooker LT's to QTP Race Headers.
