since you're in cali...keep it legal and go w/ a usdm engine...sure, jdm engines have like 10 more hp....but who the hell knows how many miles are on em or where they came from. at least when you get a USDM engine, you're usually pullin out of the car and can see the odometer....I'm sure most JDM engines have at least twice the miles the importers advertise...plus, then you dont have to deal w/ trying to get your car through inspection...
