Tate,
That's a good question, when I talked to the fella at Mopar Performance, he
didn't sound too encouraging. In the past, CARB has always been the
toughest, maybe
the EPA feels they need to be the toughest now, who knows. I do like the
fact that Mopar Performance has separated the Magnum engines into their own
group.
The individual that I talked seemed more than willing to talk about their
products and their futures. You might give them a call and see if you can
get any more info.
