No legal tuning being done in Cali. Huge CARB crackdown.

tbh first motor took a dive at 12 psi we had knock issues that we couldn't figure out which in the end resulted in
crack rings for cylinder 8 and 7 I was supercharge for 2k miles most with no drag racing yet cause we never got the car
fully dialed in before motor went boom

what exactly does this "huge" crackdown look like? do tell...
Just some examples. By no means 'huge'....

A very good friend who owns (owned) a few motorcycle dealerships in NorCal got stung by CARB. CARB came after him for installing aftermarket exhausts, dynojet power programers, jet kits, etc.... He spent nearly $100k in attorney fees and ended with a $200k fine to CARB/State of CA. Took 3 years to resolve. He was even able to prove that most of the bikes modded were for AFM or off-road racing purposes but because the individual bike owners maintained street registration vs non-op, these bike could ultimately end up seeing street duty. He ended up selling one of the dealerships to cover all the fees and fines. His existing dealership will only install OEM parts. Anything aftermarket is sold for the bike owner to install.

Rumor I have heard is BRC has a similar story hence why his shop (Cunningham Motorsports) is closed and he contracts out of another shop with a dyno. Again, I do not know first hand his exact situation.

The crackdowns definitely have slowed down and it turns out it is getting easier to find a good tuner in CA.

One incident...

A prominent big name tuner got raided about a year ago. Ever since this happened the tuner will not tune CA cars and one of their big name shops that provide their services moved out of CA for Texas.
