Yep. I don't recall what the effect is called, but here's why in essence. Inside the combustion chamber, air and gas is pulled in and fills the cylinder. Then, as everyone here knows, the spark plug sparks and ignites the air fuel mixture, but not all of the mixture ignites. The air/fuel right next to the cylinder walls doesn't become hot enough because the cylinder wall itself keeps it cool, leading to unburnt fuel and causing higher emissions. The hotter the engine runs, the smaller the unburnt gap is.
If you go on the Practical Engineering channel and look up the clear potato gun in slow motion video (I can't recall the name) it explains this very well.
As for passing smog, you shouldn't have any issue. The initial tests for vehicles are more strict than renewal tests.

Hey Alex, or other guys with this mod. Does this give you more room behind the radiator?
I am wanting to put in an LS2 fan, but the original thermostat is hitting one of the fans. Does this clear up space?

Yeah that's true. You basically delete the hoses on the passenger side of the motor because the thermostat isn't there anymore.
I think we are talking about the same side and thank you. I flipped the fan and it fit. The larger fan is not as deep, but that is a story for another thread.
