AJ, thanks for rthe kind words!
djseed, I realized that I didn't quite answer your previous question in full. Speaking for my experience, the DMV and the CHP didn't care about the engine (it was built in '99 or '00 with all new parts). The fact that you are going after complete smog exemption status (the core essence of SB100 and SB1578) is the primary issue at hand. So long as you're not burning lumps of coal in the combustion chamber, BAR is not going to have any issues. All I can say is I hope they enjoy the scent of exhaust vapors from Sunoco 110 racing gas.
