Re: LT4 Hotcam kit passing emmisions?

I passed emissions with a dyno tune. Even Fast passed so it sniffed I was really burning clean. Ion did the tuning. I have the LT4 conversion with 30 SVO injectors, shorty headers and msd ignition and a 52mm throttle body. I am running the stock cat.

Yeah, ive got this kit, but only with a pcmforless tune. I am going to do a dyno tune eventually. That should get it to pass no problem.

I passed with a 224/230XE cam and that is bigger. You should have no problems. I did get the PCM reprogrammed though.

I just passed last week. The only smog equipment I had on the car was a cat. no egr no air pump ect. It passed no problem. I have a pretty agressive tune as well.

You shouldn't have any problems at all. You ought to put it on the dyno before you commit to a dyno tune. Typically there is less than 5hp left on the table.. Thats not quite worth the price of a dyno tune to me.

Re: LT4 Hotcam kit passing emmisions?

cool. do you think i will have any trouble with my exhaust, because its not a factory type setup. it goes from the intermediate pipe to a 3 inch bullet and then a turndown right before teh axle. will they say anything, and also would they even be able to put the sniffer on there?

Re: LT4 Hotcam kit passing emmisions?

I passed with the HOTcam kit and ported stock heads no problem. Also had headers with no EGR, no AIR but with a Random Tech catalytic converter and PCMforless tune.
