250 hp setup (warning noob)
We have no emissions testing at all in Florida and our air is crystal clear. Even in our metro areas.
OEMs have more resources than an LC-1. Trying to do this without spending months on a dyno. If I admit I was wrong will you tell me if I can just open my wastegate and plug in the stock computer for testing?

that's gotta be the most retarded argument I've ever heard. Same as the Coloradoan saying "Man, I don't have to worry about hurricanes, why should you??"
Funny I saw no argumentative statement in the original quote. I must be blind. I read it as a comment similar to Brain's random comments. More like a Florida>Colorado thing.
What these guys are trying to tell you is that it is in fact absolutely possible to pass the sniffer with proper tuning, and they're right.

Your statement insinuated that he's being a **** by suggesting that things as trivial as emissions regulations are responsible in some way for his clean air. That, sir, is both an argument, and mildly confrontational. And, as stated earlier, retarded.

Although if all you meant to do was make a random useless statement, then you succeeded in spades and I have wasted precious brainpower here. Precious.
Florida is awesome. Beaches, theme parks, no emissions laws, no local/state income taxes, great weather, great business climate, I could go on... I live in Pinellas County as well so we haven't been hit by a hurricane in around 20 years. It is a vacation destination for a reason.
I learned recently to that contrary to all logic we have some very technical mountain biking courses according to some friends who are into that stuff. They claimed they were some of the best they had been on in the country. I called major bullshit but they were very confident and have traveled around the country doing it so maybe they are right. Total elevation change is only like 30-50 feet or some **** but the trails themselves are huge and "technical" whatever that means.
EDIT: I see how you could have viewed my statement as you did but I do, in fact, understand how mountains trap smog so it was more of a random statement.

It's absolutely possible to pass a two speed idle sniffer, yeah. It's possible to pass the complex test maybe in theory, but no one has done it in practice.
They say their kits will pass the tailpipe sniffer test, and in their area that is the same idle test you pass.
Haha wish you just said that after post #22, we'd be at the same place we are now. I guess we're all more educated about emissions testing now though, so hopefully people won't generalize anymore!
Not very good place for help as I've asked a simple question 3 times in this thread an no one even said "maybe."

Yeah but in their R&D facilities they have every machine known to man...that's why OEM cars only have narrowbands.

it's not the same, in denver they do simulated 4 minute long WOT runs on the dyno through all gears. so obviously, emissions are going to fail plus they will install a speed govenor on the car once they determine the top speed.
