It looks like I will be heading to California toward the end of this year. I have been planning to rebuild my IROC for street use, but now I am wondering about restrictions in California.

Does anybody know the dos and don'ts for modifying cars in California?

I am guessing that there are heavy restrictions from the intake manifold back to the tail pipe.

The car:
1989 IROC
L98 350cid (305 originally)
T5 Transmission
Holley Stealth Ram Intake
Hooker Super Comp Headers - full length
and other typical ESP modifications to the suspension and brakes

thanks for any advice-

Doesn't slow us down, the drag race set is quite happy out here and go fast mods are really important to them. If you go on TGO there are whole topics dedicated to this subject. Myself, I have a '91 Formula with a stroker, Super ram and SLP 3/4" headers, I think high 300hp and 400ft-lbs+ torque will keep me entertained!

What are you wondering about motor/computer swaps? As long as you use a motor that was used in that car or is newer, like an LSx, you are fine. If you are planning an LSx swap there is plenty of info on TGO, many have done it and passed smog with flying colors. Computer swap fine, as long as it passes smog. No-one is looking at your computer guts as long as the outside is correct, or your system has a 50 state EO., just visual and tail-pipe readings on the dyno. What area are you moving to? Some areas have "enhanced" smog inspection, not really any big deal for a legal car though.

Just sell your illegal stuff and buy some legal stuff to replace it with. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
