LT1 intake will not be legal in Cali, since to fit the distributor, you HAVE to delete the EGR

AFAIK, the Super Ram is the way to go for smog legallity

i hope you built up that t5.... but its hard to do what you want to do when you live in CA just because of the emitions and crap. Definitely the super ram is the way to go.

400bhp is not that hard to achieve. We have quite afew in our club with the Accel Superram and are above the 400bhp mark and smog legal. Heck I'm over 400bhp with TPI by converting 330RWHP and an A4. So you can do it and be smog legal at the same time. By the way these are 355 motors.

If you have the extra money laying around, my buddy is selling a COMPLETE Holly Stealth Ram kit for $1,700 or $1,800. I forget which one

He never said anything about the transmission being stock, he simply stated that the 350 block in the car is stock.

Well let him correct me. Most 305 cars are sold as 350's to unknowing buyers , so are you trying to unload something on him also???

Stealth Ram has no EGR, so not legal
