EGR is just going to give you a check engine light won't reduce power.

As far as the 299.... Take off the Bull Dog and see if it still throws it. If it does it most likely your intake. Make sure all the connections are clean and clean your MAF not sure with the brand your running is oiled. If it is you might have to much oil on it and gunked up your MAF.
