There are many things I love about California, but there are a few things that I absolutely can't stand! The smog inspections have always pegged my annoyance meter since they instituted it back in 1984. I mean, what's the point of passing a visual if the car actually passes the sniff test at the tailpipe?

Sorry for the rant. It's just that I can't even put long tube headers on mine since it is illegal as it removes the Pre-Cats. I can do the other bolt-ons, all the way to a camshaft and cylinder heads but not that! It's ridiculous. However, I figure I can bet around 300 rwhp with bolt-ons and a new Chip from TPIS without going to a crate motor.
If you have an LT1, there are tons of bolt on mods, as well as cylinder head and camshaft upgrades you can do to it and get around 400 rwhp. If you find the right tuner for your ECM, it's easily within reach. I've seen it done in a few Corvette publications.
