Supposed to being the key words. If you have emissions the car will come up differently.
Previously I worked at one of the three emissions companies in the country. The OBDII connector plugs directly into your car if equipped and your PCM reports back on all the information. If would instantly show up if tested in this manner.
The tailpipe test..wouldn't show as long as they didn't double check the motor and cat converters. Some states require the inspector to visually verify charcoal canister and cat converters. The inspectors at the company I worked at got an instant bonus of $250 for spotting missing emissions equipment. This was backed up by the state doing random drive throughs with unmarked cars missing emissions equipment.

All Right. Fair enough. I give.
I guess I've been spoiled these past years living in Florida with no emissions checks and fairly loose insurance laws. It changes your thinking gradually.

Someone I know once had a mustang titled as a 4 cylinder..came with a 6 cylinder when they bought it and dropped a 5.0 into it. Still titled as a 4 cylinder at that time.
Go figure...

my mustang that i had was titles for a v6 but i droped the 5.0 in there. its the cheapest way to do it. but if they find out via an acident they could refuse your claim. but then you can always play stupid.
and if you are looking for more power from you n/a you can always add stickers,
everyone knows stickers makes you car go faster.

Look on your spare tire cover, there will be an RPO list.... Look for F17 or FW2
F17 is the 2.84 gear ratio and FW2 is the 3.06( More performance minded )
