but HP doesnt make a car "illegal"

That's the obvious, else a Bugatti would be illegal based on HP alone. That's not what I was saying. Taking a car from 550+ hp to 1500hp infers many aftermarket parts. Of which, I'm almost positive aren't all street legal. Maybe in the state of Texas where they don't give a $hit about emissions or visual inspection. I wish Cali was more like that. If the cars emissions pass, it shouldn't matter what's in the car.

Like Texas? Cali is the only ghey azz tree huggin' state and always has been when it comes to civilian vehicles. The other 49 arent as strict as cali.

As far as I know, street legal comes down to safety and emmision control...that's it. If the part doesn't mess with with either one of those, you're good to go. If you leave the safety stuff alone and conform to the motor vehicle codes, they can't bust you. The problem with Cali is the emission standards. You can install a CARB approved Stillen supercharger for example but test pipes won't pass. I'm guessing that if this is CARB approved, it will be the entire kit.
