as far as other mods, I'm going to put the stock cat's back on, I heard BBK's suck for smog.

Yes, you'll need all 4 cats on there or you won't pass the visual undercar mirror inspection.

You can pass visual with a carb? if the tech is your pal he could have easily disconnected your spout connector and bam another guarantee pass scenario.

[sm=icon_rofl.gif]

Seriously though 87 or 91?

I had the same problems last month dude. Listen to me cause I had to do this. Run Shell 91octane, take the timing back like they said, and make sure the car is as warm as possible. Is you seafoamed you car like I did, get new plugs. Smog sucks. Im paying someone off next time
