Re: emission cams...

If this is going in your 95', then you'll be put on the rollers. I dont know the specs of the cam, but I doubt it will pass if LE has a smaller "emissions legal version" in the LE1 cam. Unless you know how to get a sticker illegally, you cant just buy one and have them pass you.

Re: emission cams...

I don't know the specs of the cams you are talking about, but you things you can do to help pass:

good cats
retard timing
put some alcohol in your gas

I passed the treadmill by retarding timing. I have a CC Xtreme 218/230-114.

Re: emission cams...

Buy tunercat (www.tunercat.com ) to reprogram your pcm. It is cheaper than LT1-Edit and gives you the same functionality. You will need a laptop. The cable is sold separately - best place to get it from is www.akmcables.com.

I think for the alcohol you should use xylene or toluene - I have seen one or both at a hardware store. I think no more than 2 gallons per full tank of gas. Search the Lt1-Edit mailing list archives since I know it's been discussed there before.
