depends on if the tuner knows how to pull pulse width out at low rpm's and low loads. you can do wonderful things with a computer, but if they don't know what they are doing, then i wouldn't try it

you get flagged

There is absolutley no problem running 60's and passing smog as long as the car is tuned for the 60# injectors. [patriot]

I passed smog with no problem on my 60s. Passed by a wide margin, although I am running a Vortech s-trim and a Bassani X-pip with Cats.

You can move down here to Tx, where we dont have smog testing. We dont even have to run cats (well legally you do, but there is no sniffer and no one cares).

Just rub it in why don't you. A buddy of mine went out that way for a business trip and to see family. He went to some mustang shop and said cars were pulling up with wild cams smelling like race gas and they just laughed when he asked about smog.
