Any CA People Running Hot Cam in Their SS?
Hi guys,
Any CA people happen to be running the "Hot" cam (GM PN 88958753, .525" lift intake/ ex.) in their LS3 or L99? Curious in particular about how the ECU responds. I know that we don't have tailpipe "sniff" testing anymore for 2000+ model year cars, but they do connect the code reader to the OBDII port when a smog test is done. Does it cause an error or other "traceable" evidence when scanned? |

Ok, since no takers on the GM "Hot Cam"-- any CA people running larger than stock (lift and/or duration) cams in their LS3 that passes smog OK?

So, we have emissions testing here in MD and even though I don't have cats I pass. They hook up a OBD reader and since my tune turns off the cats, it passes.

Knowing that most any mod is going to have to come off at smog time, I can’t imagine too many do. I know a guy with a Whipple and CAI. But he pulls it all every two years.

How else are they going to measure the emissions being produced without the tail pipe probe? |
