Oh and FYI it's a long term goal of mine to start a performance shop and sell kits but i need capitol and legal aid to do that so it's long term this isn't the united states of california you aren't the only state with performance companies by any means, just more heavily focused on the newer import trend (oh and japan puts you to shame at that).
I wasn't going to start a cali fight here but could you look a person in the eye and honestly say that C.A.R.B regulations are good for the automotive aftermarket and that you in no way didn't wish that you didn't have to find someway around the LAW in order to customize your vehicle the way you want? When the law keeps you from doing something you want to do that doesn't directly endanger others(Co2 isn't going to jump out and knife a baby especially when the airlines and power plants produce an amount that makes the performance car market simple a political buffalo) I'm sorry but I and the rest of America call that ghey and an impingement of my FREEDOMS.
Edit:some grammar fixes

Oh where to start...
The idea of turning a pulley around - say what? Pulley's are almost always interchangable - some harder than others if they are pressed on. So the solution is already there - you swap pulleys. Your idea would never pass a CARB approval process.
CARB and the EPA don't exist to make aftermarket companies thrive. Now if you think really hard about it, the aftermarket capitalizes on CARB and EPA regulations. Without CARB and EPA, we'd all be running stock 600hp leaded gas fuel cars. These regulations create a big market of approved and unapproved performance parts.
Lastly, still don't see how any of your freedoms are being denied? You can fab up your own kit, buy a knock off kit from China, buy a California produced non-CARB kit, or troll in a thread where the company is going to create a CARB legal kit. Your choices are still endless despite the peoples republic of Kalifornia..
Maybe a fun duck ride at the Dells would cheer you up - unless the water is frozen already..
