The California EO also states that it was approved WITHOUT ANY TUNING and with specific pulley size limits. As soon as you tune the ECU, you've broken the law and voided the EO approval. Its a slippery slope.

The Lid tests by Florida High Performance proved the lids did virtually nothing for making power and only make NOISE while being more aesthetically pleasing. The only gain I can see in changing the lid would be going from cast to billet and the heat it can pull from the air charge due to the density IF it was not powdercoated which locks IN the heat by reducing the thermal rejection capabilities. Then again... no one has done such an exhaustive test as Erik Bentley, with the hood actually closed to make it really fair... but I commend him on a ton of work for 2hp!!

I'm at 56 years old now and no signs of slowing down... nope, none! I've been wrenching on stuff and even put nitrous systems on aircraft years ago so "Pushy Galore" could break a few World Records! When it comes to scope, there are no limits to what I will find amusing to build with my hands to see what makes it BETTER... and I accept the failures as learning, with a degree in Hard Knocks!

These blowers COME WITH TUNING accepted by CARB. Ask my why I know.
