Lightbulb priceless hp

I was talking to a friend and was telling him that i wanted to rebuild my 302 in my truck but it will take me a while, because of money and he told me that i could gain 30 hp just by cutting the EGR nub under the headers. I would just like to know if this is true. thanks

Are you talking about the smog hump in the exhaust port?

You might be thinking of the smog bump, its not worth 30hp though.


http://www.fordmuscle.com/archives/2...ng/index.shtml


Thermactor bump (air injection bump, smog bump): In the exhaust ports of '68 and later heads there is a raised portion in the roof with a small hole in it leading to the air injection ports at the ends of the heads. I have seen heads with the bump but no hole in it. Needless to say, this bump is a BIG restriction.

Whats your vehicle specs? (year,make,trans.,rear) Is this a daily driver? Do you need to pass a smog inspection?

Sorry for all the questions but we really need to know.
