What emission friendly mods can I do to a stock motor? I need ideas on cams and heads. I have a budget of about $4000

Thanks,

Do you know what kind of power you have to the rear wheels? I was thinking of going with the Edelbrock or AFR heads and the E303 cam. Changing out Throtle body and mass air and injectors.

Is the $4000 engine only? If so I run 306, ARP rod main and head bolts, Forged flat tops, balanced, aluminium edelbrock 2.02 heads, rpm intake, e303 cam, cobra rockers, 76mm MAF, 75mm TB and EGR, I'm still using stock injectors. You should be able to get into somthing like this for around $4000.

This setup flew through emmissions (in Ontario Canada), in fact it beat my girlfrieds saturn in everything but hydro carbons.

It also runs 13.1 @ 107.1 mph on street tires and 12.8 @ 105.5mph on stickies, this is with all emmisions contol but cats.

If you can substitute AFR 185 Emmission legal heads, RPM II intake, 24lbs injectors, and Bassani cats this would make a pertty hot street pounder and keep it legal.

I have also though about just bolting on a blower. However the engine does have some miles on it and I am not sure how the engine will hold up. The motor does not use any oil.

I built a customers motor that passes MD dyno emissions with flying colors, 331 10.6:1, AFR185's, RNH Performance ported Typhoon Intake, FTI Custom Cam (fairly big) 70mm TB, 75mm MAF 30# inj, stock computer, full exhaust (uses a stock H-pipe to get through emissions)

The blower in many cases makes it easier to pass emissions since you are getting larger amounts of air into the motor even when your not into any boost, just need to watch the FMU settings
