with the right programing, can I run vortec heads W/O the EGR

I am looking into the SDPC vortec TPI setup and it says it requires the use of the EGR kit. I do not want to cut a hole in my nice SLP headers for a stupid EGR valve. So can I sucessfully run these heads on my tpi engine, get the computer reprogrammed and not have any drivibility problems..... I know I need the base too

yes you can but, as you know it is not going to pass a smog test

Yes, and like mentioned, the only real consideration is whether or not you have to pass a visual smog test.

You can just burn your own chip, or have someone do it, and they can turn the EGR OFF in the chip parameters.
