Default Dyno tune?

Hey I'm living in San Diego area now and looking for a dyno shop to tune my T/A and there seems to be a shortage around here, I also hear that long tubes are illegal? I don't care my car is registered in Ohio anyway lol.

Check out The Dyno Shop. JBA Racing also has a dyno, but I don't think they tune F-Bodies. You are correct, longtubes are illegal in CA due to smog regulations. Welcome to the world of 49 state legal parts...

Do you have any info on The Dyno Shop? JBA does not have the software yet I think they will be up in a couple of weeks though. I also think that f-bodies will still pass CA smog test with cats and long tubes?

Yeah, just go to thedynoshop.com and it'll have all their contact info. No, long tubes will fail the visual part of the smog inspection even if you pass the sniffer. Anything that moves your cats from the stock location is illegal.

Man are you serious? So what's the point of even having a smog test if your going to penalize people who customize their cars and pass the sniff, isn't that what the smog test is meant for, for low emissions?

You're right, it's a total sham...The state has review board (CARB) that can approve aftermarket parts, but it costs the company a lot of money therefore most don't do it (hence 49-state legal parts). Again, welcome to CA...
