It's not hard to get 450+RWHP out of a Whipple S/C just depends on which one you chose and which setup will pass your state inspection.

Last I knew Kenne Bell were trying to or have for the most part engineered the whine out of their S/C's. It's a damn shame.

What's your budget? To keep it a good street car you can still do quite a few things beyond the CAI & tune w/o going FI and keeping the cats.
Nitrous
Cams
LT's w/catted X or H
UDP's
CMDP's
Aluminum DS
Electric water pump
Lose weight (rear seat delete, lighter wheels, no spare, etc)
Gears
Of course, after adding RWHP you'll definitely need to do some suspension work and new rubber to hook-up.

haha no thanks....and the money is none but were looking for a list of things to do when we do get cash. We were looking at either the Whipple supercharger Twin screw or STS turbo. maybe Heads with small enough cam to pass smog. Coil overs bigger wheels and tires. smog legal shorty headers. either Magnapacks exhaust or stingers

Doesn't CA have a special vehicle law or something that allows you to bypass inspection. I thought I heard of something like that but I'm sure it costs lots of money. I think that's how Leno got his Ariel Atom road legal.

To be completely and totally compliant with CARB, your N/A options are CAI with CARB EO (Steeda qualifies), JBA shorty headers are the only headers with CARB EO, UDP's, and an Al driveshaft. Technically, I think even a flash of the computer is a no no to be totally compliant, but we are picking at nits on that point.
Quit thinking about heads unless you are going to build the motor or plan to run it at higher rpm all the time. The torque loss on the low end isn't worth the minimal gain up top on stock displacement. Especially given the cost.
STS is junk (ask me how I know) and does not have a CARB EO (yet).
Cams are a great idea, but think hard about what you ultimately want. A great N/A cam isn't going to be ideal if you one day decide to go F/I, but a F/I cam will not allow you to get the most out of a N/A motor. If F/I is your ultimate goal, pick the right cam from the begining.
IMO, a positive displacement super charger is the best option for a daily driver. The low end grunt is what makes driving fun without always having the engine wound up. Whipple, Kenne Bell, Roush, Saleen, Edlebrock are all excellent options and I believe are all CARB legal when installed by and tuned by an authorized dealer.

Im pretty sure that the STS turbo kit wont pass. Heads would be hard to tell if they were factory of not. And if your geting a small cam at that point you dont need heads. Im getting long tubes and am goin to try and pass smog(im keeping the kitties), but then agian i gots friends in the right places. Find a NICE shop that dont know what they are looking at.
