Dude Let me ask you a Question.
I just got a reman 305 5.0 with new reman Rochester EME4 installed in my 86 Trans Am, the installer removed all smog and air things. The car runs perfect.

If you had this setup would you try to put everything back the way it was(factory) or would you continue to remove factory setup and get new headers/intake manifold/holley carb/ cat-back system, etc, etc???



Im new to the game

Smog testing comes to mind. If you have a visual smog check re-install all the components back to factory specs.

Where did you get the reman engine and carb?

I am looking to do the same thing.

Would also be curious to know what the car does here in NJ on the emissions dyno. i.e. Do you really need the smog pump???

For street duty NOTHING beats the performance of a Q-jet.
