Cats, yeah, but it's carbuerated. No computer, no sensors. We tune that baby by hand.

It's not the the motor has poor emissions controls or anything... I guess the biggest concern is that we don't know if they'll take the new engine into account when they do the testing. Running a 383 V8 on a test for a 4L I6.. the odds seem stacked against us.

EDIT - Also, this is his daily driver and not a project car. That's why it's so important. If this were just a weekend toy it wouldn't be so important that he get it to pass the first time, but he's lacking transportation of his own until we get it back on the road. He borrows his dad's car for the time being, but it's a 95 Monte Carlo and he hates it.
