    Thanks. Only problem is any tune will fail smog in California so a pedal commander is good enough for now.

    Mine has the OTT tune, and it passed Colorado emissions just fine.

    OTT is CARB certified, so your tuner should be able to get you a proper CARB sticker - if that helps.

    OTT tune should still work in Cali. It just changes the throttle mapping and shift points. Doesn't effect carb or emissions

    Some emission sites will actually check calibration ID numbers, it all depends. It would still pass the sniffer, but they scan them.

    I was provided with a CARB EO sticker by the guy that tuned my rig. I don't expect any issues with CA smog.
