Re: Can AnyOne Help Me?

until januaryfirst of 2009, it was possible, but now...sorry. Now your only hope is the ZZ4 conversion kit, not just the engine, but the entire deal. This was just covered last week for someone else. But thanks to GM, you can do it, amnd have it be california legal, and get 308 hp and 367 ft-lbs torque.

150shot of nitrous?

Honestly, I don't know enough about CA regulations, but I think your goals may be a little unrealistic...

Nitrous has been known to cause cancer is the state of California.

But other than that find a smog shop where the mechanic will be leanant (SP?) to the proportion of the money he receives. That's what my dad did when we lived there (3 years ago)
