Man, we just had a major bust here 2 weeks ago. 79 tickets handed out, even passengers received at lease 1 citation, 7 cars impounded and unretrievable, 7 people arrested, some are people I used to hang out with. 17 cop cars blocked the parking lot and highway. Good thing I didnt go out that evening.

Sometimes, I'm really thankful that I drive a normal truck on daily. I'm even thankful that at times my car is not running. If I loose my Teg, that is 20g's down the drain. It even crossed my mind to just have my Teg for "race" track use only.... but I really cant stand the 1/4 mile.

The reason some of those modifications are illegal is due to alteration of the "stock" A/F ratio. I cant remember exactly how it was written in black and white. The breather emits possible exhaust gas. Any exhausted gases vapor or fumes must pass though a catalytic converter to retain its legality. Adjustable cam gears serves the same purpose. It could alter the timing and culd possible (more likely) modify the A/F via timing side. Even if the products are certified to be street legal, the cops can still have the "reason to believe" b.s. You might win in the court but you'll be suprised how many people will just either prepay (if applicable) or just go ahead deal with the judge. The truth is, even if you win the case, you still lost something via an uneasy feeling in the court or some hassle just by making the court date. Furthermore, regardless if you win or lose, some states still requires a court fee. You still lose............
