Default Tr230 Emissions Legal?

Just wondering if my stock Ls1 will pass the emissions test? I have the Tr230 reverse split camshaft (99-TR230/224-111) Guy at work was tellin me that if its close I can mix some cam 2 racing fuel in with the gas and it will screw up the computer reading and allow me to pass. Anyone ever heard of that?
Thanks
Ryan

The easiest thing would be to find a "friendly" inspection place

Do you think it will be close or fail completely?

Depends on the test, is it strictly an OBD test? or do they use a sniffer? I know my TR230 would fail for sure.

if they use the sniffer then add some denatured alchohol to the tank. Your car will run, maybe not all that well, but alchohol burns clean.
