depends on how strict the testing is. if they just do an obd2 diagnostic and a sniffer test, should be fine. if they do a strict visual inspection, it will fail. stage 3 was designed for offroad use only, says it in all the info for stage 3.

Yeah... the Stage 3 even has the Air Conditioning disabled in the tune to drive this point home.

Why wouldn't you just pop the stage3 piggyback off during the test and put it back when its done?

* OBD II. It stands for on-board diagnostics. just for future reference.

there is a youtube video laying around of a gm stage 3 with a/c that works and ISNT disabled. the only time i hear when the a/c is disabled is at high rpm or WOT... because obviously a/c compressor shouldnt be spinning that fast. hence WOT and high rpm's it turns off, so when people say i ran this guy with my a/c on... no u actually ran him/her with it off. its a fail/safe
