goto a UPS store and get a PO box for your 'mailing' address, then put down some random ass street address for where it is 'garaged' normally Wink

If you lean it out too much, the NOx will shoot up.....

Does this thing have cats? A good pair of cats and dialing back the ignition timing should get it under the limits I would think.

Exactly, If I'm plating it as an antique I shouldn't have to pass emissions too. They want it both ways, this is why it SUCKS to live IN DC >.<

BTW Looking at getting a 77 corvette stingray, car shows here i come! Smile Z got sold btw, $1200, ebay, some canadian guy eh!

Oh someone asked about the motor. It is a race BUILT (I guess all caps means internals too or something) motor. 400+HP 7500RPM redline LT1 4 bolt main. RAWR !
