Default Fuel bowl delete

Well I'm about to start changing things on my 7.3 and will be going with a fuel bowl delete kit and post pump filter kit from full force diesel. Has anyone done this and what do you think?

Fuel bowl delete? No never heard of it. I dont think ANYONE has EVER done this before. EVER. I cant imagine such a thing

It can be done. Its expensive, against SMOG is some states, and offers no big benefit over a well maintained fuel bowl.

I did it just because it cleans up the valley. It offers no benifit for the normal truck with stock/stage 2 injectors.
