From talking to Stillen, they are allowed to "update" their canned CARB tune so I would think they have tuned out all of the bugs. The confidence is not there right now with their tunes.

The CARB placard will come installed on the blower, whatever you do afterwords is on you. So you could theoretically get Stillen and CARB and then do a custom tune, impeller upgrade and smaller pulley to push 10psi and try to get 460-470whp and then return to "stock" Stillen CARB kit when needed. Plus CA is supposedly implementing a not rolling emission test, just uses the OBDII scanner link to check the computer for mods. We will see.
