Performance Sharktune = Very Clean Emissions
Got home late last night from SF10. First order of the day was to enjoy the Arizona emissions and registration gauntlet. Full dyno with sniffer. I drew the ire of the inspection tech when I corrected him as to which end had the engine. He kept trying to open the rear hatch. Obviously tests a lot of 911's. He ran my car through five full dyno pulls trying to get me to fail. At least that is what it seemed like. He spent well over twenty minutes on my car.
Regardless, the car passed with great results. Greg Brown's philosophy of more performance can and should be commensurate with cleaner emissions is the right and responsible way. Car runs incredible and I like that it runs cleans too.

She said "its smaller than I thought". First time I've ever heard her say that.
She likes it but has not been for a ride in it yet. Pretty busy here in the Hebert house hold at the minute.

Dan--
Should have let him open the rear hatch and do the testing there. Hopefully ge got the drive wheels on the rollers OK.
Many moons ago I took my Subaru wagon mountain car through the local inspection process. Tester tried to put the rear wheels on the rollers. I reminded him that it's front wheel drive. He said that it's four wheel drive. Told him he didn't have a four-wheel-drive dyno. He said he'd rather do the rear wheels since the fronts always get the dyno rollers greasy. Expert test-only place...

NICE!
I took mine through two weeks ago after putting in Ken's s300s 'racer' chips and NGK non-resistor plugs.
The guys kept crawling all around the car looking for exhaust leaks or something because of the low growl at idle and REALLY clean numbers. They took their time about it but it passed. I asked for the results but they said they only provide them if you fail.
Well tuned = efficient burn!
