I searched this topic and did not see any reference from a prior post.
Assuming that tuning a factory EFI can 'pre-select' the air fuel ratio for a predetermined RPM and engine load:
Is it true to say that a good tuner can reduce the potentially higher emissions that would otherwise result from installing a bigger camshaft and/or higher ratio rockers arms?
If this is not true, could someone explain why not?
My question is the result of hearing that bigger cams and/or higher ratio rockers arms pass more fuel past the valve, but if an EFI is correctly tuned, these mods should pass more "fuel mixture" pass the valves which under light load and a cruising RPM should be ~ 14.7:1 which therefore would not result in higher emissions.
Isn't this what that factory is doing with motors such as the LS6 vs the LS1?
