Newb from Las Vegas, NV
 

Hey everyone, I'm a newbie here on LS1Tech as I just recently acquired a 2002 SS Camaro with heads, cam, MAF, TB, headers, borla exhaust, Hurst shifter, stage II clutch, strut tower bar, and subframe connectors. Other toys include a '73 Camaro set up for street/strip fun with a 406sbc 560hp/544tq, Jerico 4 speed, 9" Moser rear w/3.77's, CE Slide-a-link, Cal-Tracks split mono leaf spring, goes 12.30 at 114mph on old 8" stock car slicks. New 10" M&H stickys just mounted up for next week. I'm also an avid circle track stock car racer. I've got an ASA modified, hence the name modracer18, I run weekly between march and september. I guess that's about it for the fun stuff.

welcome to the board.

Welcome to the site.Sounds like a cool Camaro to me.

2000 t/a ws6 with lots of mods

I was just in Las Vegas and lost $500 on black jack...A little pissed off about that inciden...Oh and welcome to the board anyway.....

sweet. any pics ill keep an eye out for you :)

Here's the first two pics I have of it. It's not even at my place yet.

Welcome ti the site. I am thinking about moving the family out there because I have my mom and sister's out there.... What part of Vegas are you by????

I live in SW Vegas by Red Rock Canyon, 215 and Durango would be the closest major reference streets.

Nice car, and welcome!

Hmm, I work by 215 and Decatur, welcome aboard and keep your eyes peeled for a red Camaro w/a Mecham hood. :D

I'm sure I'll see you around then, I go through there daily. Keep an eye out for a white SS in the near future as I still need to take a closer look and see if the cats are gone or not so I can either smog it and register it or figure out how to get it to pass smog and then register it.

Cats!? You dont need no stinking cats! I dont have any emissions garbage on my car and no issues, just need a good tuner.:secret2:

Can you recommend a tuner here in Vegas? I'm new to the whole modded LT1 & LS1 cars. I just don't want to keep going in circles trying to register this car. It's been basically sitting in this guys garage for two years and hasn't been registered since most of the mods.

On LVCFO PM either ZombieSS (Jeremy) for a full dyno tune or 1320 (Jon) can do the smaller stuff, like deleting emissions stuff.

Sweet! Thank You! I'll do that tomorrow. I think for now I just want to get it to pass emissions and then get it dyno tuned.

As long as your car isn't showing more than 2 emissions codes you can pass smog with flying colors. I don't have cats and I'll still pass.

Welcome to the board, I'm on Sahara/Durango. Hopefully we can see you around.

thanks for the welcomes.

Doesn't the smog place check for cats though? Is it best to throw him $40 if he doesn't look under the car then?

No, don't try the slipping him $40 thing. All they do is check your OBD II for codes, and the dash for an SES light. If the cats are tuned out, there is no code.

If you have a $60 scanner, you can see in a heartbeat if you will pass.

Okay. No SES light. I have a scanner. What should I be looking for? I'll just find a tuner to tune the cats out? Going to pick the car up now.

That's what I've heard. They just input a number for the rear O2 sensors, and the computer thinks everything is OK.
Not sure if all scanners work the same way, but mine has 3 lights. Green = OK, Red = problem with one or more systems or Diagnostic Test Code(s) (DTC) are present, and Yellow = there is a pending DTC or the car hasn't completed self diagnostic (so you can't just reset the DTCs just before going for a smog test). If the rear O2s are tuned out, and everything else is OK, you should get a green light, and should pass smog.
With all the mods on the car, I'd be suprised if it doesn't have a custom tune, and already have this done. In fact, with no SES light, I think it has to have already been done.
