Anybody the Sacto,Ca area had their truck smog checked with modifications yet? Mine's due in Sept. and I'd like a head start if there's anything I need to be aware of.
So far I've got,3923 plugs,V8 TB,IAT adjuster(will turn off),180 therm,JBA wires,B/W cap& rotor,Vortec muffler,Airaid,TPS @.75 and electric fan.
Any suggestions or other info to watch for would be greatly appreaciated

You should be ok. The only thing that I can see is the airaid if anything. Cali, from what I remember, was bad about air cleaners.

I live in Chico Ca (about 90 miles north of sac).
I have yet to have my truck smogged but I'd sure like to know what happened.
Thanks.

The colder plugs thermostat and highflow cat is probably what is hurting you at the smog test's. This is just a guess though. We always ran two pints of B-12 Chemtool through the fuel tank before going for a smog test. It helps clean the carbon off the pistons, valves, EGR valve and the PCV. It also helps to have the right head range plugs in. I do not know if the 3923 are right for your or not but they are colder then OEM for my engine. I have never seen a filter of oversived TB hurt anyone. Any devives that have have Carb exemption number should have the sticker under your hood. I have not lived in Ca. in years. My Moms entire family lives in Sunny Vale and some of my Dads relatives live in San Deago(sp). I agree that california emmisions are crazy!!! I would rather see all power plants and factorys running cat. converters and meeting Fed. car emmision standard then see car standards get any tougher!!!!
