You live in California. If you EVER plan on passing smog, you can forget about cams, at least until Hondata releases a programmable fuel tuning application for our car. Even then, you still may not be able to fuel tune it with cams to pass smog.

You want kick up the HP and still stay smog legal, then the Comptech SC is the best way to go in my opinion. The Stage I supercharger is CARB certified in CA. Once Hondata releases the fuel tuning application you can kick-up the boost with a smaller pulley. If you need to smog after you increase the boost, you only need to put the stage I pulley back on and re-tune. Having a CARB sticker is worth it's weight in Platinum.

Yes, I know the DC race header is not smog legal either, but replacing a header is a lot easier than replacing cams if you have to smog your car.

How does this work 4 years from the time you bought your car? if i got mine in July '07 means I do not have to smog check again until July '11???

Planning on doing Buddy Club Race Header and GReddy Evo 2 Exhaust, have not heard buddy club exhaust but might go with that since I'm going to go with BCRH.

Well input on this CA smog thing would be helpful.

how large are Si injectors? Around 310cc's like the Type S or larger? Bc once you start hitting 210+, youll start to run out of injector.
