Message	Big thanks for all constructive....if I eliminate the EGR, will it have an effect on emissions inspections? Also....thinking about the capacity of the injectors while I’m dropping the cash…..maybe a little more flow just for margin. I have JWT stage 3 and don’t plan to go beyond that except to look at a way to do water injection because I can’t seem to get fuel with octane ( just moved to where it is 4600 ft above MSL), and I’m getting knocking as boost approaches 12 psi. Never a hint of knock before. Looking for recommendations of where to get the injectors. I see Concept Z has a complete gasket set to replace everything on the way to the valve covers and the valve cover gaskets as well. I might post a separeate query on the injectors just to isolate that subject but welcome any advice from this post. Can't thank the group enough for the help, Jamey :Ladies, Gents....anyone have a walk-thru or such on how to change the valve cover gaskets? I'd like to get an idea of what it involves. I've changed my timing belt, front / rear seals, had my trans out, changed clutch etc and now need a gauge on how difficult it is to change out the VC gaskets. :Thanks in advance, :Jamey
