They don't do emissions testing, but they have yearly safety checks. It focuses more on all the lights working, your tint isn't darker than 35% etc, and suspension at a normal height. They don't even look at your engine, as long you aren't running open headers you should be fine for the exhaust. Technically a shop can make you go through recon or not pass you if realize you have done extensive modification to the vehicle, but it usually doesnt happen.

BSM does the majority of the engine work for our car group (LSX Reapers), but they aren't the best at tuning. Leaf Racing is a great shop we go to for tires, rims, exhuast, bodywork etc. Rad motorsports is supposed to be another good shop, haven't been there myself.

I'm guessing going off your sig...but your "Trae"? Seems like you started a decent little gtg... i came back from deployment and all a sudden you guys where like a GTG city at the NEX.

I was there riding with my buddy Dennis in his '05 Red H/C GTO. That was the night the Yellow Cobra was wrecking everyone, and we lost oil pressure... and coasted all the way down to Kam hwy...

Anyhow... i'll have to check your site for the reapers.. i have a few vids you might want... not to mention i am trying to source some parts for my '77 Trans Am LSX/T-56 build....
