Need a CA smog-friendly tune So I'm coming up on my first smog inspection with my TR224/114, and I was wondering if anyone here has a cam-only .bin (HPT) for a '99 M6 that has passed CA smog. The OEM manifolds went back on this last weekend (gawd the car sounds like crap with those!! 
), and aside from the cam, Whisper lid and GMS MAF ends, it's back to stock emissions-wise. I checked Horist's web site, but couldn't find any .bins that match this setup. Yes, I'm being lazy, but I'm coming down to the wire and am hoping someone can help me out with a quick fix. Thanks!

Does Commiefornia still have a sniffer? NY eliminated it 6 months ago. MANY OTHER STATES HAVE DONE SO TOO.
If you don;t have a sniffer, don't worry they plug into the PCm and check for codes only.....

California is not going the way of everyone else, if anything they will even start testing drivers' emissions as well. 
We have everything regarding emissions testing ... sniffer, OBD-II, visual, EO# checks, etc ...
Nightclaw, where are you located? This would help those willing to help you determine if you are with in the distance to assist you. You could also contact near by shops that specialize in tuning LS1 vehicles for assistance.

The closest place that deals with LS1s is Third Gen in Escondido. The next closest is in Monrovia (over 100mi from me). I have no problem doing the tune myself, I just want to see a tune that has passed to compare it to my tune results. If they end up being vastly different, I can safely assume that my tune is hosed up...

I figured it would still be a good idea to post to LS1tech though - canvassing is always good... Trending Topics
