If you live in Cali, there's nothing that's going to give you any real power without swapping the engine, and still staying CARB legal.

Not expressively legal. Especially considering you do not have the proper ECU for the motor.

As long as you keep your stock O2 sensors, it shouldn't put out any extra emissions, or give any false readings.
