Since the whole rest of the car is from Texas except for the head, would that mean I still have lean burn? Passing smog was a HUGE pain. (I got 66 of 66 on hydrocarbons, my NOX passed just fine) and involved a new radiator fan, a can of seafoam, spark plugs and cables, and a total of four visits to the smog shop. I was on a first name basis with the guys there by the time that I passed. :x
Not sure if the head is different but I would guess not. You still have the CPU, exhaust, and O2 sensor from the Texas car, right?

When you get your Ultragauge. watch the rear O2 sensor. When it drops to 0.000 you should be in lean burn. I can feel a slight stumble or a slight surge when it enters LB or leaves it.
