I have a question for you all regarding the new Texas emmissions test. Besides a few basic bolt-ons, my motor is stock. I am however in the process of building it and but yet to decide on the outcome. One thing though, I am not going to dance around the new emissions laws. I did this for years in California with my 67, and am way past these games. I just don't have the time nor energy.

So, what are my best options and still keep it street legal. I would think as long as I have the air pump and tubing in place, then it might be OK. Also, I don't want to spray the motor. I want HP all the time in all throttle positions as I don't just want a 1/4 mile stormer. I am setting my car up as an all around sports car with top speed very much a factor.

Also, budget is the last concern. Thanks in advance.

 

Well to stay emission compliant and make good horsepower? I am going to say a nice set of CNC'd heads and a low psi supercharger. An easy 150+ horsepower increase with those two components alone. Cost would probably be about 5grand if you do the work yourself. Just my two cents
