Washington Emissions?
Washington Emissions? I ended up being economical and buying a cheap truck, but want to bust back into the sports car world soon, but I was wondering how WA does emissions? I haven't had to do it on my truck. Do they actually put the car on rollers and check the emissions or is it just an obdII scan or what? How radical can you get with your exhaust and cam setups and still pass up in this **** hole?

What year was your cheap truck made? WA emissions require the testing of vehicles more than 5 but less than 25 years old. There are two different types of test: A scan for OBD II, or an exhaust check for the others. Within certain counties, emissions requirements are divided based on population, by zip code. Choose residence carefully.
The way I understand it is that if it's 96 and new car, obdii all they do is pull codes and check your gas cap. No codes, good cap = pass.
Also your computer must have passed the "readiness" status. In other words if you had just cleared the codes and took it straight to testing they'll tell you to come back after putting some miles on it to set the readiness stuff.

Get this, my 2003 H2 got the sniffer test as opposed to scanning the OBDII codes. The reason they told me it's because the weight of H2 puts it into another class that requires sniffage. I believe its for anything over 6000lbs and the H2 is like 6500.
So tj, I am guessing washington has similar levles for HC and what not. How big of a cam could you pass in a 5.3, still about a 224/224?
