That is correct, which is why I figured the VR30 swap would also work in my favor. It costs less that $50 to get the car smog legal by taking it to a referee station and getting it approved with a BAR sticker. So it is definitely doable here in Cali. In regards to the other members the car would be a street car AND be seeing track days and maybe drag strips. I know some might argue the power increase might not be useful on the street but a nice torque jump is something I think definitely would be
The rotrex supercharger that was just released seems like a very nice choice if it wasn't for the weight. Anyone know how much the net weight gain is with the kit and how much weight I can drop from the engine itself (forged internals)??
