Is there a gm afm / dod / dfm disable programming shop in Providence I should use instead?

Does Rhode Island vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Rhode Island requires a biennial combined safety and OBD-II emissions inspection statewide. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Rhode Island and federal requirements.
Is this an emissions delete?
No. This is AFM / DOD / DFM calibration programming offered for repair, restoration, diagnostic, off-road, racing, or mechanically deleted applications where legally permitted. It does not remove emissions equipment, and the customer is responsible for compliance with local, state, and federal law.
Can AFM / DOD be disabled by programming only?
On many supported GM Gen 4 V8 ECMs, AFM / DOD can be disabled in the calibration. This keeps the system present but disabled so the engine stays in V8 mode. Support depends on the ECM, operating system, and calibration, which we verify before accepting the order.
