Just curious but why no N20? Strokers lub the juice .

The HP possibilities are seemingly limitless even when trying to stay emissions legal. Speed = Money. Your question is extremely broad. There are literally hundereds of thousands of H/C/I, Stroker, and Blower combinations you can choose from.

Nitrous is illegal in CAli...but yea you will eventually cap off, due to the ever restricting emissions.

Ive read an article about a 1100hp twin turbo mustang that was still street legal....emissions legal.

You just have to purchase products that carry a CARB E.O. number so when you do get an inspection they will allow it.

That is cali safe too.

im glad i moved from kkkali, no emmisions testing in ky! woo hoo! now to answer the question there probably is no cap as along as you stay with carb aprroved products, and you will probably have to detune before smog inpections, i used to always lean my cars way out before pulling into the smog shop
