CA Smog I need to take the car in for smog and every now and then it throws a random misfire code (300 I think). Can I just disable the code or set it to not trip the SES light? Will they be able to tell? Thanks in advance!

The scan I believe only looks for codes, I would hve to speak with my tuner for sure, but I believe you can disable the misfire code and be ok. I will talk to him and get back to you.

If you think your car will make it through the testing session without throwing the code, one thing you can do is purchase a CReader (super cheap code reader/code clearer) from Harbor Freight for like $30. Throw it into your glove box, plug it in, and clear the codes before going in for testing.
If you need a more permanent solution, post up on www.sdcarscene.com, there are a few members over there with HPTuners for just about all of the LS1 years that might be able to help you out.
Hope this helps.

O2 sims should pass fine.
Turning off codes depends on which ones and how many you turn off. A couple is usually fine. I know the AIR, secondary AIR, all that crap you can turn off and it will pass. You can have a few 'not readies' and be ok

Best bet is to go to one of those asian places that doesn't speak english... EGR is a bitch cause the emmisions sticker on the car under the hood clearly points out the EGR... so you gotta hope for luck.

The vette is going to stay stock for a while, and although its a nice catback all I notice is that I'm driving a quiet car.
