I have the SC F5 installed on my 2012 ram 1500…. I live in California… do I need to return my truck back to stock value before smog? Or can I just take it in and have it smogged while it’s tuned?

@Colby There is a chance it will pass a smog check while tuned, but I have heard and read a lot of people saying it's hit or miss. It is better to return to stock and drive it for around 30 to 80 miles after doing so.
