being that the 2.8 standards are higher then the 305 standards that actualy gives the car a fairly decent chance at passing. i kinda figured that sense the standards for the v6 were higher then the 305 that maybe the standards for the 305 would be higher then the standards for the 350 which if true would mean that there is a decent amount of leeway in there and extra room to use in order for the car to legaly pass emissions.

Last time I talked to you to made the 350 sound as if it was to be as fast, if not faster than my ls1, so I assumed you were going to run a fairly large cam=not emissions friendly. If you take the car to a state inspection and it doesn't pass for emissions, it's going to be harder to buy a sticker since the car is flagged and a shop would be taking an even bigger chance on passing you. But hey, I'm just giving you my opinion if I was in the situation you were in. Btw, wasn't this car supposed to be ready for the track meet we had all the way back in December...
