3rd gen LS1 emissions inspection?
I live in Phoenix, AZ. They do an inspection and tail pipe test for emissions. Would I pass an inspection with an '01-02 LS1 in my 1991 camaro? I know the '01-02 LS1's don't have the EGR, so I thought that may be a problem...I'm not sure.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Re: 3rd gen LS1 emissions inspection?
When they got rid of the EGR they also started using a different cam. According to what I have read, this cam has more overlap, which kind of replicates an EGR effect (or something like that, I'm no cam expert, but I can definitely try and find that article again if you'd like to read it...). Anyway, there shouldn't really be any difference in tailpipe emissions for any given LS1 '98-'02.

Re: 3rd gen LS1 emissions inspection?
Every state is different. But I can tell you, I live in new york metro area. They are very strict. I have a 02 LS1 with a mild Comp cam( just a little more lift and duration than the factory LS 6 cam). It has no egr. I am running Random tech high flow cats. Front and rear o2 sensors. I also have the secondary air pump hooked up and all the tank vapor system. When I go for an inspection they see all the emissions stuff in place then just put it on the rollers as if it was a stock set up. The 02 LS1 with a cam runs much cleaner than the the stock TBI 305 it replaced. It's not even close it's a much cleaner engine. I wish I kept the numbers, but I didn't.
