No, they're not. They're smart enough to look at a part that's not OEM and say, "That's not factory. Where is your CARB sticker? I'm writing you a ticket for that and the state referee will have to verify these parts are legal in California."

Okay, that's good to know. Thanks!

Ah, I was confused. That post was referring to a ported stock manifold, which would work. Thank you for pointing that out.

Just seeing all the options. I understand that if I add a complete list of parts I will get max gains. I don't want max gains, I just want the next logical part in the chain.

I did and it left me with a few questions. The guys at AMS were great in explaining the various cam behaviour, which is super useful. The sad part was that it those tests were done on an VIII without MIVEC.

Oh no, I do get it. What I'm asking for is the next best part for the buck.

If your got WOT all the time then you will need to refill your meth all the time. If you drive like a normal person and occasionally fast then your fine

That's what I was told buy a reputable source, but since I don't have a chart to post I can't prove it. I can post the mods though:
2.3 short block
Stock head w/ cosworth m2 cams
supertech valvetrain
50 trim bb
O2 Housing
FMIC
Turboback exhaust
1000cc injectors
