Default Passed

Took the 85 to get it's biennial smog check today since it is due for registration. I have been wondering if this 383 would pass or not since the cam is in question.

I don't think this car has ever passed this cleanly before

15 mph
RPM 1805
CO2 10.8
O2 5.6
HC - max 128 Ave 41 meas. 12
CO - max 0.80 ave 0.13 meas. 0.00
NO - max 1106 ave 399 meas. 63

25 mph
RPM 1984
CO2 11.2
O2 4.9
HC - max 103 ave 29 meas. 21
CO - max 0.60 ave 0.11 meas. 0.0
NO - max 936 ave 332 meas. 47

Probably because this car has only about 7.5 - 8:1 comp. ratio. Cam has 270/290 duration with 0.482/0.492 lift. Now tomorrow the car is coming apart to replace the heads and install a Lingenfelter 74211 roller cam. I am probably going with the Edelbrock Performer 64cc heads. Would like to get the CR up to around 10:1. Car dyno's @ 245 rwhp and 317 rwtq. Thinking there is still some ponies left in that motor someplace
