Bob:

Cobra was tested on the rollers with the prior vendor at the State emissions station in Warehouse Point CT.

Forgot the exact speed, but it was for a specific time period at between 25 to 30 MPH , not sure exactly. The monitor screen in the control booth would indicate Green if the speed was in the allowed range. A friend was in the Cobra, I wanted to watch the monitor.

The 351W , .030 over, was built by Don Scott and has a Holly 600 carb, 9.5:1 compression, Ford GT 40 heads, Crower cam ( do not have the specs, but it is not radical, in the Rod terminology, 3/4 ++ race, MSD ignition and distributor.

I will start a new thread in this forum asking for comments from CT residents that have had their Cobra tested with the new system. My emissions date is not until next summer, I plan to go to a owner/operator garage familiar with the type of car rather than a new car dealer.

Not sure with the new system if the rollers will be used or a static test. I had previously requested a waiver which was denied. If the test date is in the winter, the late fee will be waived if there is proof that the Liability insurance had been suspended.
