christ, yep, thats cali for you. I figure the cams they cant see, and can be tuned with cam gears. The intake mani will have to be swapped for a neon one, and the alternator will have to be put back on, as thats also illegal.

my cars a stick, the old one was a auto, but mine has the ACR close ratio high final drive tranny in it. I have the base model 3.55FD to go in it in 2 weeks. Should drop my cruising rpms by 25%.

On tires, just curious if the 165/60-14s are really better then what i was considering, 185/70-14 bridgestone B381's, which is supposed to have a CRR of .00615. The smaller tires would be more aerodynamic, however i plan to shield the tires from the air as much as possible, similar to aerocivic. Im sure they would be lighter, but at the same time they would raise my cruising rpms by just over 200 rpms. Anyone have the CRR of the 165/60-14s? And weights, i cant seem to find the tires on tirerack.
