383 Guys, how do you ever pass emissions?
I'm going to get my Vette back soon from a new 383/Miniram install and I'm thinking I can pretty much forget about ever passing emissions or any visual test.
(Pics to follow soon.)
To tell you the truth I've been so focused on wanting more power I overlooked this little tidbit. :o
Anyway glad to be a part of the 383 club.

The area surrounding my current duty station does not do engine visuals, smog, etc. In Hancock county Missippi there is no vehicle ispection requirement and St Tamminy Parish LA has simple safety inspection the guy checks to see that your lights work via mirrors on the wall so that he can see all the lights without leaving his chair.
Did I mention you can have a loaded firearm in your vehicle in both states without a permit?

Mine passes with a GOOD tune. The guys at the E-CHECK get a kick out of it actually. I don't know how strict your state is but in Ohio they cut the earlier cars alot of slack compared to what a new car needs to pass.

I dont ever have to worry about getting a sticker. I have a hook up through a buddy that owns a family business doing inspections. I just text the vehicle info and he delivers the sticker with the paperwork showing that it passed for $75.
Not exactly the legal sticker but noone ever knows. I have got prob 6 stickers from him already. Only reason i cant pass legal is no cats.

If you're not running smog stuff and mild cam, this will do the trick
