The car has been smog and passed a month ago roughly . I’m not lending any advice how to u can make your maf read before entering SD mode you can make your maf work until it exceeds its limit smog test is low rpm testing nothing above 3 k I guess . Most maf’s will read until 650hp until tapped out. I’m done trying to teach those who just want to argue and down play everything . Therefore it’s not worth my time to explain . Peace Out !
Is it possible to make the MAF monitor show "ready" when it's a SD tune? That's what's going to matter for a smog.
"Looking CARB compliant" is not a thing...trust me. If it goes to the state ref, they're not gonna give a heck what it "looks like"....and you're going to have some fun on your hands having to get it all back to something ACTUALLY CARB compliant. The further you stray from CARB compliant, the more work you're going to have to do to get it back. Hopefully you never have to go through that.
To further emphasize I have all my carb labels . So whatever state ref theory u have is considered nonsense . Everything on the car is car approved 50 state legal . With its serial identity number ! Must we continue on a a non realistic chat . Or maybe people can actually start being coherent lol

indeed is you stray away from 50 state legal products you could later face a problem. This is why you have to play to play and if you can’t pay you don’t play .

I know you're used to people bashing you, but if you'll read it again, the question about the MAF was just that...a question. Thanks for answering it, you can be done teaching for the day. Believe me, I certainly won't be looking in here for lessons anytime soon lol.
I have no "state ref theory" to offer, unfortunately all I have is first hand experience with a supercharged C5. Glad you've got it all covered though. I'm sure they'd get a kick out of the catch can, proflex, hi flow cats, intake tube being used as a charge pipe, W/M nozzles, etc. One last tip and I'll leave you to your teachings: hold on to your OEM catted mid section, especially the type you have. My state ref theory is that you'll need it. Or at least let me know what dumpster you put it in so I can go get it
I’m gonna cut up that stock cat and make one hell of a water pipe and put the gold & platinum on my teethLol. Whatever high flow cats I may or may not shove back there will be in the stock location. Therefore when they see it look stock in place but the insides are gutless they will only wonder are they gutless are they not . I guess we may never know . But **** it passed smog with flying colors .

Do as you wish, but if you ever have to go to the state ref, you'll realize I'm speaking from experience. Ref will make you reinstall the OEM cats AND certify that they're the original cats. Members here have also failed a regular old smog test with aftermarket replacement cats "in the stock location" and had to do the same as above. Strictly due to visual inspection. You show up to the ref with anything besides OEM cats that don't have a CARB EO that includes your MY and you're going to really wish you didn't make that really cool crack pipe. The odds are in your favor, but all it takes is one stroke of bad luck. I'll leave you to it now, I'm not going to argue and repeat it a third time.
For a 3rd time boy....lol keep those stock cats ! I have and I will I’ve kept every part that’s ever came off regardless if it ever goes on again they sit piled up
Gots a call this morning from the dealer and OmG . The clucth slave cylinder actually appeared to be installed correctly. However this is a 1st time they Or I have ever seen clutch lines routed in a such a way the fluid from the reservoir was pissing straight out the bleeder and not circulating through the actual slave cylinder .( Wow ) No wonder it wouldn’t shift . I expected this but I really thought nah couldn’t be. Well it shifts like a dream now. Getting the fast 102 installed and it should be ready shortly today later on. So thrilled and happy to be getting the car back and just let it sit as the garage queen it usually is getting waxed and buffed weekly . Awaiting its 103 throttle body . Finally the nightmare has ended .
Nope just having the fast intake, fast rails ,steam reroute kit ,4to 3 bolt adapter stock throttle body, afe stage 2 plenum , 100mm lsx maf , and catch can done currently no dyno machines . Should be all wrapped up early tomorrow morning . Putting the build to rest for a long while hopefully.
Mighty Mouse catch can 1000hp -10an . Fast LSXR intake . Fast Rails / 102 to 78mm 4 to 3 bolt adapter by fast . AFE Stage 2 Forced Air Induction / LSXR 100mm LS9 Card MAF / ( 2 ) Working AIT temps .
And it still won’t shift ..............I also put in a new master cylinder by Tick Performance. Back in the air tomorrow.
Maybe this time along the path I throw this on for fun and originality lol . Hmm might rebuild the torque tube . Throw in a built trans & rear differential to boot. Maybe rebuild what I got with better parts . This the car hits the streets it’s gonna be legit lol .

Are you swapping back and forth with the dealer on tearing it apart. You try doesn't work they try doesn't?? This is JMO should of stayed with stock M/C. I had tick, went back to stock and best move i ever did. Feel is back to stock. I'm running the mantic dual twin. Leg feels great in traffic now. Don't yell at me JMO.

Are they pulling it out again?? Wouldn't this be a good time to rebuild TT?? My IQ is pretty low. If it wasn't for spell check you wouldn't be able to read what i'm trying to say. LOL

Clutch slave line blew out with factory master cylinder. I changed the master when installing the tilton slave . Anyways it what it is . Even the clutch is engaging the tick master cylinder feels nice . That wasn’t this issue the car was facing.
