Also only the Stillen Supercharger is CARB certified, with the Stillen tune. Thus if you obtain a custom tune, you may not pass the emissions testing -- or you should be prepared to default back to the Stillen tune at the time of testing. Hence, you should check with Stillen regarding this issue.
there isnt really a way for to tell that you are running custom tune though is there? AFAIK smog is only visual + codes

I understand that if you live in an enhanced smog requirement area (most of California), the ASM2 emission test checks the vehicle current tune on the ECU against the manufacturer's tune. Thus, if there are dramatic changes to the engine timing etc. you can fail the test.

Interesting, I did not know that as I've not heard someone fail the smog test due to a tune. I wonder how if they'd be able to detect a custom tuned stillen kit (assuming through obdii)
