Massachusetts Emissions

Does anybody know if a 5.0 will pass Mass. emissions with only 2 cats and 40 series flowmasters???

It should be OK, but drive the car around town for at least 15 minutes before you go for the test. The cats need time to warm up. Where in MA are you? Would you be interested in a southern New England/MA meet this summer?

Cool, thanks. I'm in Wilmington, probably about 20 min north of Boston. If there is a meet in the area this summer count me in!!

There's also some sort of gas additive that you can dump in the tank and I believe they guarantee a pass on your emissions test. Now if I could just remember the name.... Anyhow, probably any auto parts store would have it or something similar.

There is another way.....get the gas down to about a 1/4 tank and dump in 6-7 bottles of drygas...then take it up on the highway and warm it up...
the alcohol will be circulated enough to drop the emissions...alcohol burns cleaner....

just my $.02

COOL, I have heard the dry gas trick, but wasn't sure if it really worked. Talon what color is your mark?
