If they get caught doing or passing cars that shouldnt pass, they face heavy fines and lose their license.

For PA, not sure how strict the state is. Depending on the the manufacturing date of the car, it may still still only fall under OBD-I. If its OBD-II and they have to plug into the scan port, then you're screwed.
I have 2 friends that pass with their LS1 swaps...I'm in CT and our tests are just slightly behind CA in being a pain in the ass.
