You have to pass emmisions from a visual perspective, and a few counties make you pass OBDII checks

Pittsburgh Raceway Park is probably the closest track to Pittsburgh

Pa's pretty easy to pass.Just make sure everything is ok-brakes,shocks,exhaust,tires.Pa says no cut-outs.I know you took care of the car so it's elementary for you.Unless you know someone or ask for the guys here where to go,they'll check all that stuff.MAKE SURE you don't have any check engine lights lit.At less the last say 10-20 startup/shutdown cycles.They'll check your gas cap,plug into your cars computer to read and that's pretty much it.Unless you live outside the counties that do emissions,then it's just the saftey inspection.

Thank you for your responses. I will move to the Pittsburgh area if I land a specific job there. I do not know exactly where I would choose to live, and its not certain that I will get the job. I wanted to know what changes I would need to make to my cars. I am mostly concerned about my '87 Camaro IROC and my '99 Camaro SS. If its just visual, I can mount the various components up, but they do not have to work.

Concerning the OBD codes, I was getting several codes after the LS2 402 stroker install. I have elimenated the codes from showing up with LS1Edit.
These codes were showing up due to the cams overlap along with the 112LSA.
