[QUOTE="FordMoCo21, post: 16595357, member: 104388"] Okay okay. So yes worst case scenario they can shut down tuning because of freaking spark advance capabilities... I get it, it's POSSIBLE. My comments though: all the tuners they've hit already are still doing the basic tuning just without deleting emissions. So, is the EPA going to go back to SCT, which they've already visited, and tell them oh now you can't allow axle ratio and spark changes? Why didn't they do that before? Okay, so say that does happen. EPA just wipes out ALL tuning capabilities. The goal with the RPM Act is to allow VIN'd cars to run catless and catless tunes at the track, and track only. So basically the RPM Act does **** all for street cars, which is 90% of the community. Not to mention, the EPA WILL find a way to make sure those same offroad racecars with VINs do not find their way to the street. Maybe if you buy the tune you now can't register your car? How many would even actually do that? Something drastic would happen because the EPA has stated "offroad use" only disclaimers will never be sufficient... They've allowed it for a bit, but no longer. And it wasn't even really allowed before per se, as fines are still handed out even with the disclaimers. I don't see how allowing VIN'd offroad racecars to be tuned for catless will help tuning for street cars? The EPA has made it very clear that cars on the street need emissions equipment no matter what, so an exemption for racecars doesn't help most people. I LOVE going to the track and spectating. But the majority of the hobby for me is wrenching on the car and cruising weekends. If this doomsday scenario happens you're all predicting, then my only option is to go back to stock engine/tune and drive the car like that. The RPM ACT DOESN'T do anything for me in that regard.
