The CA BAR has an $800,000,000 a year budget. Make them broke and all this hippy saving the planet one car at a time BS will stop. These cars will be off the road in their own natural cycle. It is wrong to accelerate it- It will mostly hurt the working class who needs old cars as that's all they got.

As far as NOx- well... I'm pretty sure running a hot chip degrades cats. burning oil is another. I don't know what kind of life my car led previously, but the the best my car will do is 490-500. Good enough for the next inspection, but I might be in the same boat trying to make exempted headers.

A lot of states let 800-1000 ppm Nox- so it isn't like the catalyst is completely dead, but without egr or cam overlap, the 11:1 compression is just too tough to work around on these cars.

If you would like I could burn you a chip with 1 or two degrees less timing on the low end to try to game the test.
