Is it 100% stock?
No. It has ported heads, arp head studs, manley platinum pistons 11cc. It has bbk long tubes, 2.5 pro chamber, 3" mac catback. I put stock exhaust back on and stock supercharger pulley to smog. I need to smog it but it passes fine. I did the same thing last time for smog

Wont pass now if you are on any none carb compliant tune. Things have changed as of July 2021.

In case you buy a cobra that is modified I have plugs that can pass the smog and remove state refs in case you want too

That's why i am putting it to stock for smog purposes. I don't think any tune has ever been legal in Ca. Yes most hanhelds have 91 octane tunes but they always have said not legal for California on smog controlled vehicles. Nothing has ever been legal unless its carb compliant. Just most places dont bother you if it passes the obd port check they do. I always had to return mine to stock tune. That being said i never had anyone say anything about my cai,tb,or smaller pulley.

if you are still looking, my Cobra is up on the site and passes Cali smog. Used to pass every 2 years before I moved to Utah. Comes with stock cats, carb eo RAI, and tuner to revert to stock tune. 20k
