Will it run clean without it. Yes but it's a larger fuel charge then is needed to maintain speed.
What motors are you talk inning about? Variable valve timing? Does the same thing as egr. Lowers the o2. Just a different way if doing it.
Most people fail to learn how a EGR works and have a very wrong idea that they rob power. When working correctly they do not hurt performance in the least. Leave them hooked up and save gas.

False.

Sure, EGR doesn't hurt power, but removing it also doesn't hurt fuel economy. Yes, if you just remove the mechanical components your economy will suffer, the key is to correct the tune for EGR delete and your fuel economy will be just fine. I had planned to keep mine intact, but when I went to F-body manifolds with a truck intake, it became apparent that custom EGR plumbing would be required, which is not something I wanted to spring for. After much research I came to the conclusion that I shared at the beginning of this post: Removing the EGR has zero ill effects so long as the tune is corrected.



Very nice build btw, love the bird.
