The missing point here is D.O.T clearance. Even small engine builders have gotten clearance for their modifications. Without this, we here in California cannot drive our cars legally.
I truly wish that this was like the good old days when they sold 426 Hemi 'Cudas off the showroom floor with NO Warranty and you could still drive them on the road. Alas, we have to jump through some hoops or face purposly gigantic fines.
Even if we must bear the brunt of our mods, at least take the time to have them D.O.T. approved.
