Your best bet is to either run a healthy shot of nitrous or save up for some form of forced induction.
Shorty headers work really well with FI.

Yeah, I noticed I forgot the "h" in front of the link. I also noticed that they looked exactly like shorties, but wasn't sure. If I do any modifying to the engine other than bolt-ons it will be cam only or FI. Either way I want to stay legal, run strong, and have a reliable daily driver.

Sorry to bring up a dead / dying thread.....
Shorty headers will work well with FI?
You mentioned it would work well with a SC in an earlier post, what about a turbo?

Yes, but I guess that you did not read the OP's entire post. He lives in California and your statement of BUST simply means.....YOU will be busted!!! In the end, you will NOT be able to smog your car because it will fail. These days, it is Very difficult to find a place that will pass you for a few extra $$$ in their pocket. If they are caught, it means their permit to operate will be pulled ending their business. Its hard to say, but in the end, just swallow hard and be compliant, buy a different car or move out of state for a silly car lol.

shortie heades i have a ws6 00 20k miles. i have edlebrock shortie headers. eaton posi unit w/ 410's corsa catback system, k&N FILTER, SLP LID. DYNOED @ WHEELS 327RWHP WHICH converts to around 436 hp on the crank. i save everything i take off. so it can be put back to stock.one day ( WHEN THEY WILL BE WORTH MORE THAN I PAID). I live in VA. & EMISSION INSP are tough (not like ca yet but on it's way. This speed shop that dynoed my car told me those headers were about 8 to 10 more hp to the wheels over stock manifolds. He also said the LT WOULD produce somewhere between 10 to 15 hp. agreed LT WILL give you more hp. they should know because 90 % the work they do is on ls motors. so saying shorties have no value over stock manifolds is not true.
