Excuses he can use are heatsoak and the 2-3 shift? Combined thats about .2-.3 seconds and 4-5mph.

So far til next year the only modifications I will be able to buy will be the cam and tune, good street tires(michelin's or pirellis), slotted rotors, and if I do need it I will get the k&n intake or just the vara ram. I'm trying to stay away from spray as long as possible, but headers can't do because of smog regulations. I'm not sure if dumps after cat are legal here either.

I wish it was that easy. but now that you got me thinking, I might as well just build a project car than to F around with my car that I'm still paying for. Does any one know for how much a 94-97 LT1 are going for. With all the money im spending to reach my goal I can easily build a 400+ rwhp Camaro

Can't a hand-held tuner easily adjust for it anyway? If there are CARB legal supercharger kits, surely headers can be tuned properly to pass emissions. Do they check visually for headers? I doubt it myself.

Thats the first thing they do. they only look for the location of cat if it has been moved but when most see the long tubes they fail you on the spot.

I don't understand why LT's are a no no. As long as it passes the sniffer who cares? California sucks as far as smog laws go. Everything has to have a carb # and everything.

My first question would be for the Corvette forums - are there any smog legal headers?
Second, $150 to pay a "tuner-friendly" smog station is absolutely insignifcant in terms of the parts and labor costs + the gains seen.
I would guess CA has more header-equipped cars than most of the states in the US, combined, being the car-capital of the US....

Yes they do, that doesn't mean that they are CARB legal. I know several people with F and Y body's that have LT's and no cats that still have tags because they paid to pass them.
