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-

motor/computer swap.... i've had a LS6 swap in mind... but if i read california's web site correctly, that's not possible since all original emissions equipment must be retained... that doesn't make sense to me since a 20 year newer engine/emissions set up has to be more smog friendly...

Hunnington Beach is where I'll be located


thanks for the tips... i guess i'll have to dig in over at TGO...

I don't see why not, retaining the emissions for the new motor is smog friendly for sure. Should be doable. Just talk to other folks how have done it before you do anything at all.

Huntington Beach eh? Nice!

These guys will be glad to help you:
