To make matters worse I had a dyno tune with a predator tuner nobody could email me an "emissions" tune for. There are no tuners here in Austin and I was having to drive to san antonio, re-dyno tune then back up to Austin (because you MUST get stickered in your county here in TX to be legal and san antonio isn't an emissions county anyway). After driving back and forth twice missing work and still failing my inpection I got fed up and had the cams removed, sold them. Even with the stock cams back in the car I was failing due to the longtube headers and hi-flow cats. O2 sens not ready, O2 sens htr not ready and catalyst not ready.

I was finally able to sell the goddamn useless predator programmer and purchase an SCT so I could work with mail order tuners/companies. They sent me an emissions tune and I still failed!! Eventually had to get o2 sensor "raisers" to move the o2's out of the exhaust stream enough for them to come ready. They remained in a ready state for exactly 24 hours, long enough to get stickered and then my CEL light came back on. I said screw it and put my original tune back on with the rear o2's disabled to kill the light. I guess I'll have to go through that every year. I don't care at this point...
