Re: Smog Test

Nice. Big heads, big TPI, big cam, big exhaust and it passed with flying colors.

I think bicyclists put out more raw pollutants (methane) than that!

Re: Smog Test

That Kevin91Z is one amazing tuner!! He impresses me with his abilities at every dyno session as well as on smog check day.

So now we have to look at just a LITTLE more cam and another 1/2 point of compression for that little 355!!!

Re: Smog Test

Geez, that's cleaner than my car was!

I dont deserve all the credit though. Don helped. Also, he just finished rebuilding my T56 and its now smooth as glass and shifts like a knife thru butter.

New cam already, Pat? Now we know why you had Don install it in his car first. He can work out the bugs and find out the power, so you know what to upgrade and replace before it goes in your car. I'd recommend a 224/230 from Comp using the XFI ramps and 113 LSA. That's halfway between the XFI268 and XFI280.

Re: Smog Test

You tell me if it will still have good low end:



The red line is with AS&M large tube runners. The blue line is with the SLP siamesed runners.

Just about any reasonable roller cam will pass the sniffer test with custom chip tuning.
