With boost, I wouldn't try to hide it, just make it as easy to remove as possible.

there is power to be gained with spinning it faster, but it's darn sure more expensive to do it.
my head work was done to be OK for a modified street motor, but not get stupid about it. I could have put a lot more into it.....
cubic inch additions are fine, but again, the gain is expensive versus other mods. one only has to look at Louie's stroker and see what's there, but getting it to pass any smog check may be a challenge.
as to blower additions that are easy to remove, I believe Dave Robert's twin screw may be the deal---compact package, no intercooler/plumbing to remove/replace, etc...
What's wrong with California's smog rules? they are un-informed and lazy.
you can build a motor that's environmentally friendly, and still produce little emissions.
What's attached to the engine externally is irrelevant----if it can pass the tailpipe test.
