Also, that is not much of a redesign since I am assuming the use of secondary injectors are legal.

They passed the sniffer test from day one, the tests I was referring to were done using the stock injectors and so forth. From what David told us about 2 months ago they were ready to hand over a ready to go car to the carb people since I guess that's part of the process
Bottomline is they are the furthest advanced besides JWT on that goal...and a single Turbo will never pass CARB on a Z because the cat can not be relocated...
here's the link to the CARB site:

CARB sucks...I think we can agree on that

I found a submission form but no guidelines. I sent over an email to one of the ARB reps and hopefully they can point us in the right direction.
Here is the link to the forms:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/aftermkt/topforms.htm
It is Form C.

OK, back on topic.....i've been thinking all day at school what I should do...1.I don't want my engine to 'possibly' blow up kuz it's a daily driver and I will gettin on it hard from time to time...2. I wan't to minimize the cost as much as i can...
So if i get the TT kit, the bov, the fuel pump, boost controller, gauges.....will I ONLY need RODS and PISTONS to be safe at 5-8 psi? or is there more to it than just rods and pistons? like gaskets and studs n such?

In all honesty the APS TT has the best track record and so does Brainstorm for installs in terms of reliable daily driver at 8.5 psi and lots of power at the track. There has not been one single blown engine since it's release about a year ago.
You can not go wrong with that setup and there's no need to get a build engine unless you want to go way up there.
I've had my kit for just over two months now drive at least 100 miles per day and race it at the track at least once a week.
I dynoed at 445 horses and am holding the southern cali Z track record right now (12.25 at cali speedway and 7.778 at Irwindale)
and it performs fantastic every single time
Call Chris at Brainstorm if you want to check out their shop and some APS tt's on different cars. They are out around Culver City, it's a great shop
