The secondary cat is un-monitored, so it won't throw codes. Depending on your state's inspection policies, it might not pass because of the 'visual' inspection that is supposed to take place (making sure that the emissions equipment hasn't been tampered with). I don't know what they do in Kansas.

Giddyup. You might want to do some datalogging to confirm that your octane booster is actually doing something. We did a sweries of dyno runs before and after on a car with octane booster and saw no change in knock sensor activity. I know it's not the most scientific test, but the point is I'm a little skeptical.

torco shows some dynos on a bmw so i thought i would give it a shot since 100 octane is $13 a gallon. im gonna play with 25% e85 and 75% 93 also. i shot you a email at your business to keep me posted on future mods also. i can never have enough horspower or poontang. thanks
