Bwahahahaaa. Dude, California is the bastion of environazis! There may be a
helluva lot of hotrodding going on, but there is no way in hell that you can
do carbs and get away with it out there. Carbs: spitting raw fuel out the
exhaust, 14mpg, etc. -nah, I think you'd better stick with fuel injection if
legality is a concern.

Actually, why do you care about the rules and regs out west? Are you
planning a terrorist mission out there, Josh?

What exactly do you mean by that? You're looking to save what part of your
engine? A turbo 8v doesn't sound like you'd be using much of what you've
got. What are you up to, eh?
