VT Engine Stage 1 CAMS and SMOG

[chef_333]

Hey guys,

I am about to buy the stage 1 CAMS and wanted to know if anyone has successfully pass California smog with them on your car?

Ask VT before you buy. Aftermarket cams can really do a number on emissions. Not saying that Stage 1 would for sure but it sure would suck to install them and find out you can't pass smog.

I'm almost sure u won't pass smog with the cams..u might wanna get the ported heads instead

 

[chef_333]

Well,

If you noticed I already have the Fox Lake 3 stage port job, one of the best port job on the market, but want to get a little more. the guys at VT feel I am pretty safe with their stage one, but was just curious if anyone ever got their car to pass with smog with changes in cams?.

Chef, if you do get the cams and take the smog test, please do a write up here. This is some very good info to have. I hope that you have a "friend" that can inspect your car in case something doesn't work out right.

i was told that most "mild" grind cams ARE legal emissions wise here in california, but sorry i don't have any hard data for you
