Actually my idea of the ultimate crawler is a variable valve timing, EFI controlled diesel
Think about it, a user programmable torque curve...
Better yet, independent electric motors on each wheel and joy stick traction control, yeah, ...ok sorry... M block, yeah

DO I need EGR ? This is a non-emission test trail truck. I was working on it today and I saw the EGR is not hooked up. I could not figure out where the vac line was. EGR valve look new.

If the EGR isn't hooked up/working, then the ignition advance will be too much, and it will probably ping. Pinging is detonation and bad for the motor.
To run without EGR it is necessary to change the dist. advance curve. Having an operational EGR doesn't hurt performance much.

You should get one with 4 holes for best results.
