I knew the EGR and I'm writing that down as information gets jumbled in my head (I got confused taking the plugs out because I kept saying there are two per cylinder ) Don't worry when I publish my Magnum Info Book you'll be listed as co author and get some royalties

your right my bad, I was thinking the China wall not the EGR aha the 2000 is a v6 so I wouldn’t be able to use it though

What? You don't have your manifold stretchers????

Yeah, that could be a problem.... Check around your local yards, see if they have a 98 and up intake for ya.

What about injectors? what do you guys think would be best for the setup I've got going here, as well would a Underdrive pulley kit be worth it?

Stock injectors well work unless you are going to be going forced induction or some big power.

I don't like underdrives, as the alternator is not charging properly at idle, nor is the waterpump moving coolant as well.

You can go with stock injectors. They are more than adequate to the task.
