Really what matters is that little E.O. number that comes with CARB certification on a plate visible to the officer. On the Vortech kit for the 350z, it was on the supercharger. Does 99% of the inspectors/officers know what the correct pulley size is - nope.. Even if you get Mr 1%, you take the fix it ticket, put the stock pulley back on, and go pass..

So yes, for legal reasons we California owners care, but for practical use the CARB certified level of PSI doesn't really matter. People are much more likely to get busted for high flow cats or race pipes.

On top of all that, we are talking about mostly new purchased cars up to this point.. 5 years of no inspections anyway.
