What all did you have to do to it to pass SMOG?Just got my car back on the road after several years. Owned since 2011, blew it apart during Covid, then moved across the country. Redid a bunch due to CA smog, and just successfully smogged it this past week. Thankful to be driving it again!!
Bunch of little things to still do but so happy to be driving it again, even with the stock cam and 2.73’s (although I will be changing those).
What all did you have to do to it to pass SMOG?
Nice, no specific reason i asked, was just curious. My car is all SMOG legal as well. I have some Twisted Wedge 170cc heads waiting to go on. Will keep the cam stock, and intake stock for now. I have some upgrade plans that i need to figure out to keep it 'stock' looking (sort of like you have), I plan on putting a PMAS 80MAF and 24lb injectors on, but need to figure out how to get the PMAS to look stock. If i can't, I also have a SN95 70mm MAF and my stock 19lb injectors... but i'm already pushing those to their limits with the Paxton and FMU.Will try to keep this brief, but feel free to PM if you want more info. I am in SD as well.
Previously the car was in MA and I had planned to run a combo of AFR165, Trick Flow Stage 1 cam (not my 1st choice but custom cams were tough to get during covid), Non EGR ported GT40 intake, O/R H pipe, Accufab TB, Pro M MAF, 42 lb injectors, and bypassed smog pump.
I then moved from MA to CA and had to get the car appearing / running stock enough to pass. Intake went back to (ported) Stock HO, H pipe was replaced with original 4 cat h pipe. Smog pump was no longer bypassed. TB and MAF were removed and replaced with stock appearing ford stuff (Explorer TB and Supercoupe MAF). I ended up changing the cam to the Stock HO but probably not 100% required. Also changed the injectors down to 24 lbs (not required but was chasing a fueling issue). Then lightly "tuned" car with QH/BE combo - not much here beyond inputting data for the Inj/MAF and then doing a little logging with a wideband. The closer you can get the engine bay to appearing stock the better shot you have. That or using parts that have an EO #.

I did pass SMOG in my last fox with a TFS stage 1 cam, just FYI. That was paired with Twisted Wedge 170cc heads (1.7 rockers) and the TFS Street Burner intake. I always got looks from the SMOG techs, but I just said as far as i know the cam is stock and it passed the sniffer...
This was like 15 years ago or more, but i had 24lb injectors and a ProM calibrated MAF on my old combo... somehow the ProM was able to pass SMOG. Not sure how.
What part of SD are you in?
