Can someone please tell me why the E303 cam is only smog legal for a manual transmission and not an automatic? This makes...little sense to me.

My take on that, and dont quote me, but there is a difference in idle between a 5spd model and an automatic. When in Drive in an auto, youre sitting sitting a big higher in the rpms than you would be in a 5spd.
Dont quote me, someone else will chime in and either agree and contribute, or give you the real answer you were seeking.

Cause that is the way the Thing was tested and to pass they have to have the freedom of a clutch!! This isnt saying 80% of the cam s and heads out there wont pass emissions... but you HAVE to have that carb number.. and the cost of the cert. is unreal!! I would run a test and ee if you fail or pass... most of the time a guy can tune the car to pass then go back to the hipo mode.. there are ways around the smogg stuff!!
