Default How do You Pass Emmisions?

I would like to go all out but the state restricts you. Do you adjust your setup every two years or is there a head cam setup that can run on cats? Maybe someone knows how to trick your computer?

Ironic, my buddy does and has almost the same user name..lol Anyway he has a 2000 T/A with Torquer 2 cam and LS6 heads with Mac Mid length headers and cats. With a stock stall/auto and good tune, he put down 402RWHP and around 380 RWTQ.

Very easy to do with EFILive or HPTuners, not just your SES light but your readiness codes as well. Does your state have the sniffer test?

You just have to have someone to overlook the physical components not being there (cats, egr, air).

Im a mechanic so getting him to not look for the visual is fine. Can you really trick your computer? It's just a obd scan and a visual inspection. Va
