This is goin to start hitting smaller fish like FI at some point too. I know I probably sound like “omg, the sky is falling” but it’s a big deal, mark my words. Ironically, I don’t really have a dog in this fight since our ttrs with a stage one tune, full emissions systems intact, will make 500 hp and on e-85 it’s 565 hp and run mid tens and that’s good enough for me and wifey sine it’s an hpde car, but it’s still feels like this is the end of an era, must’ve been a feeling like this in 1970...

They (epa) came down hard first on the diesel stuff bc of the stupid show and all the idiots “rolling coal” social media vids. Now they’ve put the fear of god into Holly et al and I’m waiting for the next aftermarket co to get hammered. The domestic car aftermarket is bigger so they’re just working their way down the ladder.
