Northwest Members - Lt's on a lt1

OK just got some long tube coasted Pace Setters. Score. So OK I live in the couve. I don't have emissions til Dec 2012. When that time comes should I worry about not having a cat or egr? These headers don't have that option. Or any other info that could be useful would help. I'm a virgin with putting these on. Thanks.

So you got the race headers then right? My guess would be to register it somewhere there isn't any deq.

Years ago I used to do that down at the coast. Thought they put regulations on that now? Anyway If I just had a cat. Would that make a difference?

We are all going to have bigger things to worry about come December 2012 ;)

You will need to register it somewhere else that doesn't have emission testing or pray for a miracle when it comes to passing the Sniffer. And not really on the cat converter.

What year is your car? If its a OBD2 car and they do their checks down there like they do here in Spokane as long as you tell the computer not to report the rear O2's and the EGR and you have no chek engine light they just plug you in see no codes and send you on your way. May be different there. Buddy of mine passed with his 97 Z28 with headers and a giant cam. The people were laughing at him when he pulled in and he was the one laughing when he left

^^^ LOL Nice

I'm not jumping on the idea and saying it's going to happen or won't. Your ass just better be ready if the shi* goes down. :nod:

I'm going to be doing a burnout on a peice of road as it's falling down the canyon a earthquake just made:drive: :burn:

Well the bible says that no one will know when the end is and God will return. So for me, based on my beliefs, I am good. Thanks for looking out though.

Time to Hang the liberals!!!!! and givem the boot to the ass cause they are destroying america with all the regulations. First one that needs to go is OBAMA!

Yeah, that guy is terrible. I can't understand how or why anybody would vote for him.

2012 baby!! We're all doomed lol!

Wait did my post just turn in to Christfest! I got a 94 Formula. Which system can I get to work with my computer? Also When would i need to do a tune via laptop?

How the fuck did the op's lt thread turn into a 2012/religious thread? I dont think he is ordering from heaven performance

Wait did my post just turn in to Christfest! I got a 94 Formula. Which system can I get to work with my computer? Also When would i need to do a tune via laptop?

Do you have any other mods?

A tune isnt all that crucial for boltons.

A tune is crucial if you want to pass the sniffer.

I would suggest a tune specific for emissions and then a regular tune for non-emission days. That is what alot of my friends did back in Salt Lake. Wong has a sniffer and can tune to your specific emissions for that year of car.

Great info Joe. Lol. Get a tune for sure.

Im just sayin it wont hurt the car.

All my mods are as follows. OK E3 plugs, MSD wires, under drive pullys, air foil, TB by pass, 160 thermo, K & N, stage 1 shift kit and a manual fan switch. Other than suspention upgrades. I bought these headers and a a flowmaster for a stock replacement. I'm lookin at a 52mm TB next. Do to what i can afford as I go along. Just not sure how much more I can do til I need a tune. Any idea of what HP I could be at with all this thus far? No worries if know one knows. Just curious. What could i do next thats affordable? Thanks

Is Wong still on St. johns?

It's in the same parking lot as Gaynors Automotive. Right across the street from Jack In The Box....or is that Carls Junior...

Hey ditch the y-pipe and go X-pipe.. fTW!!

Across from Carl Jr's that is next to Walmart.

I would try and do as much as you can before getting the tune, that way you don't have to redo it later when you add an item. You can run the long tubes without a tune. You will most likely need the tune to pass emissions, so start planning and set some money aside for that before your time in 2012. Another little item I would suggest to add would be a set of 1.6 roller rockers. Even on a stock cam that will help increase lift on both exhaust and intake. An engine is basically an air pump. Air in vs air out and the result in between is horse power. Headers will help get the air out and a bigger throttle body will help with air in, but if you don't change something between those two points, you won't see much change in the horse power number.

Holy religious battle! Next your gonna tell us Santas real!! Anyway. Carls sounds more correct do to jack is on 78th. You have an idea of the price range for tunes? I'm gettin close to 200k on this engine so I want to do a total rebuild. So at that time I plan to upgrade cam, rockers, manifold, and hopfully heads. But talk is cheap. Parts are not!! lol lastly. Do these engine blocks have the clearance to stroke or would I need the machine work like the 1st gen's? Thanks again. I've posted on the LT1 page and just got mumbo jumbo blah blah who's smarter. This is one of the few times people have spoke english. Plus haven't tried to 1 up each other.

Oh and but 1st things 1st. My car needs brakes and tires in a BAD way so next is headers and tb. Than after I begin what to do next....other than track!!

I have a 383 LT1. I took mine to the machine shop and had them check for clearances. There is a little machine work needed for a 383 stroker, a 396 needs more clearancing. I believe Wong's tunes are around $500, but I would contact him to check. Also you will need to talk to him about tuning software.
