How much power can I get out of a Z with all mods still being legal for the streets. I know there's many forced induction systems that are CARB pending. If I drive a car with a supercharger that's CARB pending, will I get busted?

 

if your in cali....CARB doesn't mean shiiaat, especially exhaust....you can't touch (legally) anything to do with emissions. if you do get caught there could be a heavy price to pay if its not CARB approved. i have never had a cop look under my hood....so it could depend on the cop too

but that sc should not only get you into trouble....but it should also be able to get you out of trouble too

 

I can only think of intake and exhaust that have CARB stickers. The other mods might be lighter flywheel and pulleys (not to sure about this one). Lightweight/Racing Rims is an expensive mod, but can help a little.

Headers, Cams, and F/I are pretty much hard to find under CARB.

Best way to avoid the CARB police is stay stock, but than again I'm bias (you can read my title )

 

I am pretty sure the Stillen S/C is CARB exempt, so that is the current most HP you can get and still be playing by the rules.

APS and JWT are both in process of getting CARB exemption for their TT kits, so by summer you should see some pretty high HP CARB exempt Zs in CA (hopefully mine will be one of them).
