Hey you guys!

I often stumble over the term street legal and such. But what does it mean in US terms? Does your cars have to be inspected regulary by a governmental organ?

The reason why im asking is...in Sweden whe have something that can be translated into "the swedish car testing institute" Every car that is to be driven on a public road must be tested every year and approved for road use. And this is my problem right now.

Im going to place an order for Kooks headers and a camshaft. I really want something like the cc503 but that causes me problems with the emissions.
So to wrap it up...if your cars also has to be tested, how do you "pass" with an extreme camshaft? Iv'e tried to ask my fellow swedes but o dont get any real answers

Another thing, I contacted WS6-store about Kooks headers, but they dont ship internationally. Do you know who does?

honestly, most states have no emissions testing, granted, altering any emissions systemk is technically illegal, but if no one checks, is it altered, hmm.....


alot of cams can be made to pass emissions tests, but the major deciding factor here is you need to watch the cam specs, IIRC, LSA and overlap are critical, it needs a good emissions tune, and it will need cats on it



some of the tuners on the board should be able to pop in and give more info, everytthing I have said is second hand
