Call American heritage performance. They use a guy named Tom who is amazing. I had him tune my track car and it’s been stellar.

a few first place finishes in the corvette challenge - very happy with it.

Ewwww I was right

Ca emission checks now (since 2021) incorporate checking vehicle tuning data against a data base of factory tunes for all makes and models. If a cars tuning doesn't match what's supposed to be the factory tuning, the car will fail.Jun 18, 2022

If you don't find someone to do it for you, I offer remote tuning.
PM me if I can help.

I never smogged my legally registered car(s) in the decades I resided there in CA. So many loopholes to help avoid it it's laughable.

As far as the tuner/calibration shop goes; all they needed to hear was my vehicle was for offroad use only.
YMMV

The DMV here in the state I'm in now didn't even ask to see the vehicle. Just handed them the title to transfer it to this state.

Myself and I'm sure many others would greatly appreciate enlightenment on those loopholes!
