In sunny Cali, even though you would obviously fail the visual because of obvious mods to your engine, if you can still pass the actual exhaust emissions test specs for your year engine, for a couple extra bucks (1 time charge) You can take it to a "Smog Referee" at a state run facility. They will inspect & test you, & then grant you a permanent variance that will then follow the vehicles title transfers. The vehicle is then A-Ok from then on, as long as those mods stay in place & continue to pass.
This is also required & holds true for MAP to MAF conversions. This option for engine Modifications is not commonly known, but true. It's an option for end users (owners).
But if you want to manufacture a component & have it CARB approved (Which passes a standard visual inspection).....Good Frickin luck! You'll need that & buckets o' money & still may not be approved!!!

I have pics of it on my Car domain page. I have more current ones where it looks better but haven't had time to update it yet. Here is that link http://www.cardomain.com/ride/214722...del-city-ok-us

Just wanted to put up new info. i havent updated here as much as i have at ford truck. So i have rebuilt the motor with ARP hardware and Custom Forged pistons. I turned up the boost to 16psi and got 350hp and 400tq to the wheels. I have to convert to Mass Air to finish the tune. the truck has some part throttle drivability problems. I have also added meth injection and need to build the transmission. the stock trans is rated to handle 400tq at the flywheel but now my truck puts 500tq at the flywheel. so at full throttle it starts to slip.
