Not Ranked
Years ago i had a friend that ran a rather radical 289 in a Cobra MKii street/racer and was required to pass an annual sniffer test of those early days of the seventies. He would regularly remove the well modified 715 CFM Holley with a simple small two barrel and leaned it out like awful. Removed the puny accel pump linkage and of course it didn't run very nicely at anything much over idle plus. But, it did pass inspection, barely.
i would suppose it might also be done today. He finally left NJ and did it for a few years in FL before the testing was dropped. The car saw less than several hundred street miles per year, so it didn't seem like much of a hazard at the time.
He liked to drive it to a few events each year and enter it in the street class, as a sleeper. Murdered the "vettes. Frequently won BTD over modified cars.
Wouldn't do it myself, though. Not very sporting.
