Did they put your vette on that dyno-like roller and rev it up? Somehow don't like the thought of some jockey reving up my vette.

Nope. SLO Co. is Basic. I think the only areas, right now, using the dynos are certain Enhanced areas.

You can enter your ZIP on the DMV site to see what area you're in.

This smog tester sees the mods alright. I just think that should stay between you and me as long as it’s clean out the tips LOL. And guys don’t worry too much about your car on a smog dyno. We are only taking it up to 15 then 25 MPH with low loads. Nothing like a Chassis dyno where your putting hundreds of HP to the rollers.

Those are great numbers, but you DID luck-out. I've read a few posts where Blackwings and Vararams were spotted and the visual test was subsequently failed because of it. I plan to remove my Halltech and use the time to clean and oil it while my Z06 box goes to the smog test.
I hate having to go back just because of an intake, but hey, it is a convenient time to do a thorough cleaning of the whole setup, anyway.

Since I bought my C5 from a Chevt dealership located out of state, I had to have it smogged here in San Diego. Of course, with only about 50 miles on it, it passed with flying colors.
