I thought it would be cool if everyone posted some of the specs on their engine buildups (that is if you arent still running the stock weezy motor like me).

Have you gone through emissions yet, or do you know a way to cheat? :evilgrin: I have to get mine done by March, but I need to fix some egr first.

Emissions sucks. I failed before when everything was factory stock so I had a waiver for 2 years. It was up on Jan 5. Since I was changing my intake manifold, my car was in pieces so I drove over and got an extention through may. Now I have time to have a set of high flow cats put on. I thought about just going through since the last 2 times, they have not looked under the car with a mirror. But my luck they would and I don't want to get beaten with a stick. They are pretty stupid there. They had to run the test over because the moron didn't realize I had duel exhaust. They only put one tube on my drivers side.
