Mods in the sig. Is it true people with HP Tuners with the same year can help it pass? I am thinking the only things I have to worry about is the cats and misfire codes set off from the rough idle of the cam.
I plan changing the h/c and dont see much point getting a full dyno tune before I change them.

Another idea is register the car in a town that doesn't have emissions. Get a PO Box in that town and register the car to the PO Box. You will have to go there for the plates and other stuff but it only costs about 50.00/year. ![](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies2/thumb.gif)

I have thought about registering out of town. Didnt think you could get away with a P.O Box though.
Yeah, I know the car wont pass. The SES light has been on ever since the cam and headers. It might pass with sims but I think the cam will trip some codes.
I have to get it tested by the end of the month. I was gonna buy HPTuners software and tune it myself but I dont have enough money for the software and a laptop. I plan on buying the software eventually after I get a laptop.
I wouldnt mind letting the car sit out for a few months until I finish changing the h/c and exhaust and then test it. But I am afraid if I dont take it in now the emissions police will hassle me hard.

I'm not sure if there's even a way u can pass with that. Hmmm but I do remember a member i think his name is Trax here, lives in the chicago land area, saying that there was a wya ot maybe trick the computer about the air pump and EGR. Try to get a hold of him maybe. And I dont know about pep boys but i know for sure autozone has it where u just pull up with the car and they can scan the car right there and let u know wat code ur throwing
