These mods specifically:
103mm snout
103mm NW throttle body
RotoFab BigGulp
Elite e2x catch can

OP won't pass smog with those parts. but... the catch can isnt a power mod per se. the biggulp and the throttle body can be swapped back to stock very quickly, I am pretty sure. the snout might be a bit more work, as the blower may need to come off? not sure on that, but also not sure how much power the snout alone will add so may be best to avoid.
i do not mind taking several hours to put the car back to the carb compliant setup, and carb tune for smog. I do not want to do long tube obviously as that is too much work, but as long as the magnuson tune wont throw codes, and visually everything looks like it is carb eo compliant. i am fine. i would put it back to carb compliant spec, drive it the next day or week to reset the monitors for testing. smog it, and put back the parts and tune.

dont have much faith unfortunately. I wont buy the system until the carb kit is out, and specifically applies to the kit i am buying. i mentioned before on here with the whipple gt350 kids its been probably 4 years since they have been saying the certification is pending approval. whether its carb, the kit mfgs who are trying to increase sales, etc., i dont really care. i just am not willing to take a risk like that and have to pull the blower potentially and put the car back to stock because the carb eo cert is still not out in a year and a half.

That catch can will have to come-off though.

any visual under hood mod will fail you, even if there are no codes. but that BG takes maybe ten min to swap on and off. just keep the stock parts and play the carb game going back to stock intake for smog.
