The cam will pass, no worries at all with that.

LTs and catted y-pipe wont pass unless you pay someone off at the shop

IDK mine works just fine. I have the MAC headers and catted Y. maybe cause theyre a midlength, my car wont pass the vis, but all i need is the smog #s cause its just for military base stickers.

I have heard of that too. Since you are from the same area as me, are there any good places to get a dyno tune around our area?

I know there are two shops that sponsor this board that have local dynos. One is CMS and the other is Orange County GM Performance.
From personal experience I haven't been all that impressed with the customer service of either shop, but I think its all we got around this area.
