Gary, in answer to your original question, the following quote is from a MOPAR engineer:

"Like I said on another thread, OBDI will pass fine with the Staged kits. OBDII might, depending on what they check. OBDII requires that anything that fails (or is operating out of specification) in the emissions system light a MIL (Malfunction Indicator Light). This entails roughly 1,400 things being checked constantly (like checking if your gas cap is tight or whether your thermostat is functioning). In fact, OBDII monitors (as they are called) account for 80% of the calculation overhead in the engine controller and 50% of the code (memory space).

So far, I've only seen one OBDII thing checked during an emissions inspection that the Staged kits might not pass based on Kirby's spy radio thingy. Again I stress might. Also, pretty much guarantee exhaust sniffer will pass fine - unless you go and remove the catalyst or something silly."
