Well I have some immediate expenses to take care of on my truck before I play with things... Need a full rebuild on the IFS . But once I get that done, I think I will delete cats, custom exhaust, smog pump delete, and see how that works. In the mean time, I think I will try to make the EGR work since I don't have the skills or money to correct timing and tune the engine if I remove the EGR. Thanks so much for responding, and again, great job on your FE!

Also, I totally agree with the concept of making a car run more efficient instead of adding things to reduce emissions that would be lowered if you simply didn't burn as much fuel to begin with. I also hate ethanol mixes at the pump because it reduced my mpg, and there by actually causing more pollution and overall fuel usage in my particular truck (as with many others). And don't get me started with diesel regeneration , I used to constantly be late to deliveries due to stopping for regen in my box truck
