will i need a tune to pass? ... i ahve as&m mids oryp wide open borla and matt put in a stock tune as well...should i be ok? it is running a bit rich

 

My car before has the exact same setup, plus a 305cam and some shaved heads, No way it was going to pass, but theres always a way of passing

 

I've personally found that passing is really dependant on how good the CAT is. And the aircare tests we have is HARD to pass without a good CAT. The aftermarket cheapo cat's don't do too well on our tests

 

What's a good CAT to get? Cannot pass with a stock tune, really minimal mods and no CAT, will need one sometime soon....

 

I've never heard of a Trans Am "GT". Is there such thing?

 

Talking with a mechanic at a GM dealership (wolf GM, the guy did sound very competent about emissions stuff which was refreshing change compared to other mechanics i've talked to) He suggested the stock GM Cat was the best since it has a very high presious metal count compared to other aftermarket ones. He said the downside is that it's stupidly priced.

He also suggested a Walker Converter (#15068). I was quoted 800 and 458.50 Respectivly.

Would be great if someone could attest to a few other brands or confirm that the walker one is good

 

Much like the F1 Camaro, i believe it was just an apperance package. not sure

 

the trans am gt yeah very rare apparently,came wiht blistein shocks, 245-50-16 tires, hardened "pink" push rods, raised spoiler and some stupid push botton shift kit that had wayyy to much line pressure in it and blew my pump in my tranny

 

so you figure with that set up i wont be able to pass then eh? im running a walker cat as well

 

I passed aircare easily with my 240 000km motor, CC305, AS&M header setup. Got a fast pass on the IM240 test.

We did tune the car, but didnt do anything drastic.

You should pass just fine with the AS&M headers and a decent cat.

 

awsome thanks craig...btw...your car is insane now what #'s are you hoping for

 

Similar setups have made around 600 rwhp... that's a nice target

good luck with the aircare!

 

thats crazy man congrats, thats a crazy # and thanks for the advice
