I know TPIS sells them, most likely any manufacture though of an aftermarket base should be able to supply you with one.

Talk to john millican

I know he distributes his LT1 intakes with them, but i dont know if he makes them or buys them.

either way his prices are fair.

i have a 89 formula and everything is still in tact under the hood, what will pulling the EGR valve and blocking the hole do?

Will blocking the egr really cause detonation?If so are there any ways to correct that afterwards?

Or you could just leave the EGR on and be a little more environmentally friendly . The EGR costs a small amount of power at cruise or part throttle, but is turned OFF at WOT, so this won't affect your ET.

I can confirm that disabling the EGR does cause detonation (at least in my case.) I average about 4 degrees of knock retard on acceleration... I'm in the process of editing my spark tables to get rid of this.

And I'd like to be more environmentally friendly... but my EGR valve was stuck open (nothing 125 PSI out of an air gun couldn't fix) and I can't justify the cost of the replacement valve. Besides, I don't think my future intake (Stealth Ram) has provisions for it in the first place.
