Re: smog for ls/vtec (silvicsi)

They probably have ref stickers for VTEC motors (GSR or USDM B16A). Since many smog check stations don't check block codes during biennial testing AND an LS-VTEC looks the same as a full VTEC motor, you will be able to pass at most smog check stations with such a setup.
