Andy.. They don't even put EGRs on cars now. Newer cars are more fuel efficient, make more power, have less emissions without an EGR or a smog pump.
So then I guess we should just tell him to put an LS1 in there so he can pass smog.
But until that happens the L98 isn't fuel efficient, makes less power, and has more emissions even with the EGR and smog pump.
Riight, but he still should be able to pass without the EGR.
Nox gasses are created when combustion temperatures are above 2500 degrees. A higher octane fuel with a blend of alcohol should reduce combustion temps. I'm surprised anything running 10% ethanol even has Nox emissions.
But even still, a good 3 way cat will reduce Nox emissions enough to pass.
