I don't mind if I'll be losing 30-50bhp because of that, because my ultimate goal is to equal or just beat an LSA-powered 6MT CTS-V in straight-line performance. With a DCT, even a VT1 kit will do that I'm sure.

So, how will smog / OBD check react to a supercharged car running on software tune and stock cats? Up here I think they are getting rid of all sniffers and just doing OBD code reading now.
You might get by as long as Canada doesn't have any kind of visual check.
