i'm pretty sure theres a handful of guys that's done stuff to their motors and pass emissions down there. 
Emissions builds are 
I live in CA. LT headers are not legal, and they will look for them.
I have heard that the CC503 will pass smog. They won't know anything about the heads if you get your stockers ported. The kicker is going to be the exhaust, it will be difficult to get 400+ rwhp with stock or shorty manifolds.
If you want to hit 400+ rwhp in CA you usually have to:
A) Spray
B) Go FI
C) Stay NA and pay ~200 every two years to "pass" smog.

I think these are supposed to be able to pass smog. I remember reading that, if someone can back that up. Not sure what your budget is, they are kinda pricey
