I am planning to purchase an Elise or Exige. I have rented one for a day in Vegas, test drove one at a dealer.
I would prefer increased torque in the lower RPM/MPH ranges, for more acceleration around town, without the need to rev to 7000 RPM to get into the torque range.
Obviously, a SC is a great way to do this.
Will my car still pass the annual state emissions testing after adding an aftermarket SC, with the required programming changes?
Will the required changes to the programming make it fail the OBD-based tests? If so, would it need to have the identical program to the stock program, in order to pass?
If it would not pass, are there alternatives?
And if I just want a little more torque at lower RPM's, are there chip and/or cam changes, etc, which could do the job?
I know, I don't have the car yet, but the answers to these questions could help me decide among Elise, Elise SC, and Exige.
Thanks for any help.
