Emission test in Texas Questions (Boss install)
I checked the Forum for info on emissions testing but they seem to be dated, for Ecobost trucks and almost a year old. My F150 Scew has the Boss install, SCT tunes for the Boss, Flowmaster after cat and cold air intake mod’s. Its 2014 5.0L engine and I need to go and get the tag/emissions test done this month in Texas. So here are the standard sets of questions; Do I put in the stock tune before I go? Should I attempt the test without return to stock? If I go to stock do I need at least 20 to 50 miles before I go back for the test. Will the Boss affect the stock tune and the emissions test since 5 Star says it needs a tune to work correctly. I sure don’t want to have to pull the Boss just to pass the emissions test??

I like it just wish I had more options on the tunes. 5Star only gives you 3 for the Boss. If you have an EcoBoost you really need a tuner. When I first got my truck I loved the tunes I got from 5 Star but wanted a little more performance without going with a blower - opt'd for the Boss. When I step on it, it turns heads and moves out once you get past the 2K revs. I'd probably opt for for more of a Coyote setup next truck or if ever have to replace this engine. I'll let you all know what happens when I get the test next week.
