WTF!! I passed the Sniffer!!! A friend of mine works for a local inspection shop. They got the latest sniffer a few days ago, so I was at his shop today checkin it out. I saw that thing reject 00 and up vechicles. I decided to check how bad mine was considering I have nothing smog legal on the car, and sure enough...no luck. I had a spare bottle of "Guaranteed to Pass" in the car, for my Ford Ranger, but I poured it into the Camaro, and thirty minutes later I pass...Crazy, considering I have no smog pump, cats, 383, and a XFI 468 cam. That stuff really works...don't know how, but I'm Texas state legal.
How did it test without the "fix in a bottle"?
Something people forget is a lot of what we do to get more power to the ground is about efficiency and that efficiency we strive for can have a positive impact on emmisions PPM tests, volume may go up but they don't measure that.

I hope they let me get away with my LS2 Conversion if I do get tested, that Engine from the Factory has no EGR on it..

That's awesome, I didn't know there were emission exempt states. We might of cheated the system. The first test was @ cold idle. The second was with race fuel, and revved the crap out of the car right before the test. I don't know, maybe a faulty sniffer, who knows, but honestly I did pass it.

I think you misread him. Or I'm not understanding you... lol
I read him.. he said it was legal to put in a newer Engine in an older model car. I said that's funny cause the newer Engines are more powerful. But then again the average person isn't goin to have the knowledge to drop a newer LS1 into an older car..

well the reasons are obvious.... emissions are not getting easier.... they get harder... so a newer motor is obviously going to get better emissions than the older motor in the car... and of course... its obvious why older motors are a no no
sucks you cant put an engine from a smog excempt car into a newer one.
also, with CA swaps are hard to deal with. anytime you want to change your engine, it HAS to be newer AND instected by a ref and/or a stroked out STOCK engine. like the block from my car or any LT1.

Technically, from what I heard, is it's illegal to do an engine swap. You have to rebuild your own motor. Reason being, is to keep numbers matching. Otherwise you could just coincidentally be running the motor from a car that had been stolen! If the motor is totally broken, cracked block, then I think a swap has to be done by a certified shop.
In reality? If that really is the case, I really don't think it's ever enforced lol
EDIT: heh silly grammatical typos.
