LS1 to LS6 Coming from CA. How potent is this conversion? Is this CA exempt?

LS6 is nothing more than better flowing heads with bit more aggressive cam so I don't know if buying an LS6 motor (if that is what you were trying to show with that link) is worth the money considering you could buy stroker motor for better HP/TQ.

It would be cheaper to just get headers and a small cam I think. I couldn't find the LS6 conversion on that page becuase I'm in a rush. You'll make power than you would get with a stock LS6. You can keep the cats or go with high flow cats and get a tune and you're set.
I believe he was tring to show the cam, head, spring, intake package. Do a search in this section there was a thread on it a few weeks ago. If I am correct most people said it would be better to just get ported heads and a better cam for less money.

My heads/cam package with gaskets, bolts, timing chain, etc. INSTALLED only ran me about $2600.
It's good for about 475hp or more with matching mods vs. 405hp for the LS6.
