Stock LS3 heads ported small cam - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Greetings,

How would the smog places know if you had your stock heads cnc'd and a non aggressive cam put in your car? Would the re-tune show up and they can detect that?

I eventually want to purchase a supercharger but it just seem like a lot of money and not be able to optimize it. Ex... No LT, no high flow cats, no cam, no heads, no cold air ect...

Thanks for your time,
Robert.

You can have HFC's and a CAI, you just have to put those back to stock before your smog. The LT's you're screwed here in the People's Republic of Californistan. The heads and cam, S/C, I don't know about. Hopefully someone on here can chime in with some knowledge.

Thanks Jag107, I only lived in CA for eight years and bought my first nice car thinking I could do lots of mods. Boy was I wrong. Kind of makes me want to move back to MI.

Regards,
Robert.

Heads and cam. Unless cama is very wild they will not know. Basic is visual and make sure you are not setting any codes.
