One reason to wait for OBD port smog in Cali
Once California transitions to OBD port testing this seems like a viable swap.

Like other states all they do is plug in and read the OBD readings. No dyno and, less time, and supposed to be cheaper

All the OBD port testing does is test for readiness codes. No dyno hence no actual emission readings. Basically if they plug in and scan says all cool you pass smog. Ya feel me?

There are pilot programs out already in socal from what I have read. It's supposed to be implemented around 2013. Of course non OBD2 cars will still have to do dynos.

This is an example how other states do their OBD testing. This should answer most of your questions.
