I don't know. Honestly I know nothing about it but everyone tells me I won't pass

Maybe you should do more research! Since stroking is all internal, as long as all the externals look right, the OBD tests pass as does any exhaust tests they might do, how would they know? AND, why would you fool with the engine at this point since you probably have some warranty left on your 13'?I don't know. Honestly I know nothing about it but everyone tells me I won't pass

Just adding more displacement shouldn't hurt you on emissions, but if you add a more radical cam you will have difficulty passing.
Have you contacted any forum vendors to see if they have a kit that is CARB certified, or at least 'guaranteed' to pass emissions.
Have you posted anything in the California regional section, someone can probably steer you to a good performance shop that can give you the power you want while still passing emissions.
I could never deal with that state. To much help from the govt for me to handle.

Did you have to re-tune for altitude Brian?Older Post I know and not sure about California smog however I just came from a non emissions state to colorado and have a Stroked 392 with competitions cam, 6.4 injectors, 2009 Eagle Heads, in a 2003 block with a 2005 PCM, headers, and Hotwire harness, cold air intake, dual exhaust, Hp Tuners tune I did myself cutting and pasting files and making some adjustments here and there and I passed by quite a margin actually. It has some issues with cold start and idle fluctuates but after it is warmed up all seems to be great. I thought for certain I was going to fail. They didn't even throw it on the rollers it passed that easy just by idle and computer checks. Apparently I wrote the PCM just right or did enough to confuse them they couldn't figure things out. They did seem to have some technical issue on their end with the CAN system but after 20 minutes seemed to have straightened it out. I was probably 55% within passing HC etc... so there was quite a bit of room left for issue. What they didn't notice is the small exhaust leak I had at the right passenger side header which I was able to straighten out afterwards which should've thrown my oxygen sensors off and ran me rich. My guess now that is fixed I would've done even better. I built the engine myself. Be sure whoever builds yours knows what they are doing. Quality will prove a winner. Don't get crazy with the camshaft. I went two sizes smaller than I desired and i am not only happy with it I think I made the right choice as far as emissions turned out.
