And he took it to the emissions place for me before I picked it up.
I've been silent on this post because I just got back from vacation and didn't really pick the car up until the end of the week. And the weather has been awful so I haven't been able to really test it fully. All I can say at this point is that it is going to be hard to keep it on the road, Everytime I floor it in first, second or third it breaks traction if I am any sort of decent RPM.
I did notice that on the drive from Dallas to Houston the cruisability is totally unaffected and I still get 27MPG at 70 MPH.
At the risk of boring readers I'll report more after I've had a few days of nice weather.

I live in Dallas and would LOVE to hear how your car sounds with that setup ! Do you have any sound clips or vid clips to share ?
I am thinking that your setup is the same setup I want for my 04 Z06.

I have all the bolt ons minus heads and cam, I have the Halltech Zo6 intake and LG headers and PASSED Calif. Visual is to ensure you have the sensors and AIR connections and that they work. The law says nothing about them having to be stock parts. If a testing center tells you they need to be stock they are full of crap the law says nothing of the sort. It says the AIR system needs to be functional and working! As well as the O2 sensors. And Mine was tested at a Calif testing center.

Hi Guys,
The next batch of headers will come with (4) 02 sensors.
You asked for it, You got it. Anyone who wants 4 sensors installed can just ask for them and we will put them in for you here at LG Motorsports. We only have a few sets of the old batch left before the new production order is filled by Borla.
We were extremely pleased with the way this car performed even while passing the sniffer test.
This cam is a variation on our G5X-1 cam. The specs on that cam are 228/234 the cam in this car was a G5X-1E (for emission cam) Of course we can not divulge exactly what we did to make this cam run so clean.
Thanks for the props guys. Glad you like it. In this market of blistering fast cars, we are very glad that Dave put this requirement on us to make this car pass emissions. Who knows if we would have even tried otherwise.
Thanks again

We're not worthy!! We're not worthy!! 
I may have to pay you guys a visit while I'm here in Dallas (on business) and maybe find something to spend all this extra income I've got going on

We could only try, but with the extra overlap on the other cams the task becomes much harder.
aurik, Stop in any time. We work on a few really nice Alabama Corvettes.
Thanks

Well now you have it. over 450rwhp 428rwtq and it passes the sniffer test.
We are very glad we did this. We love to make the 480+ rwhp numbers but now we can make this package for those who want to have a high hp package that passes the tailpipe test.
Thanks guys

Great numbers, and great package, but what year was the car, and what cats were used? It was my understanding that this claim:
NOTE: Under Federal EPA regulation, replacement of original catalytic converters is allowed only if the original converter(s) is missing, or the vehicle has more than 50,000 miles or is at least five years old and the need for a replacement has been established and documented, or a local inspection program has determined the existing converter is in need of replacement.
Maybe this doesn't apply? What year was the car that you passed with, and what cats was it running? I realize that some inspectors, and some states don't check these things, but if they cornered you, couldn't that spell disaster??

I'm very impressed by your package. Is it possible to divulge the amount of overlap on the cam? Also, is it possible to have this emissions friendly cam installed and tuned elsewhere for those that are not located near your shop in TX?
