So you are saying that since I have a Cartech fuel system I won't pass the smog test?? Why is that?? What is it about the fuel system that is emissions illegal?? Since I'll be taking the smog test within the next couple weeks I need all the info. I can get. Thanks

Out the tail pipe, you'll pass. But if you get a smog tech that is strict, visually you wont. California is THE strictest state when it come to smog. It doesnt matter if what comes out the tailpipe is clean. If a part on the car is not listed to have no effect on emissions, the car fails. The main reason that a Cartech/Aeromotive fuel system fails is because of the adjustable regulator. Goverment officials think that because the regulator can be set in a way that the car would fail out the tailpipe, its not legal on polution controlled cars. (Never mind the fact that if it set that way, the car will run like CRAP!) I would think that most people are going to set their fuel pressure right around a stock setting and calibrate more fuel at high RPMs/WOT using a custom chip. (Thats the best way of doing it anyway.)
